Amy's Song

Amy's Song
source- http://www.azlyrics.com/s/switchfoot.html

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 knowing 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

When 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 And the fire she's begun She came when we were freezing And left us burning up
