Amy`s Song

Amy's gone and time rolls on How far, how fast, how long? The last time we saw Amy She was headed for the shore Fighting off the volatile gray skies She said,"Now begins forever" And that no one knows their time We bid farewell not knowin' That might be our last goodbye Amy was a fighter, she cut like Casius Clay She burned like a fire despite these rains Where time was a question, she only knew one song She's singing,"How far, how fast, how long?" Salvation is a fire In the midnight of the soul It lights up like a can of gasoline Yeah, she's a freedom fighter She's a stand up kind of girl She's out to start a fire In a bar code plastic world Amy was a fighter, she cut like Casius Clay She burned like a fire despite these rains Where time was a question, she only knew one song She's singing,"How far, how fast, how long?" Everything stops moving And I stop to catch my breath And ride my train of thought All the way round My thoughts return to Amy The fire she's begun She came when we were freezing Left us burning up Amy was a fighter, she cut like Casius Clay She burned like a fire despite these rains Where time was a question, she only knew one song She's singing,"How far, how fast, how long?" How long, how long, how long? Last time we saw Amy Last time we saw Amy Last time we saw Amy Last time we saw Amy Last time we saw Amy
