[Verse 1]
And we were jubilant, willing to pretend
We were not losing time, time wasted
Like any other day we will make the bed
Thinking it is dead, it is finally dead

[Chorus]
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The quiet is ours, the work has begun
The louder I call, the faster it runs

[Verse 2]
I search for patterns, sense that isn’t there
You can have everything, and still you have nothing
So I take them all apart, then I put them back
Sometimes it takes a long, long, long time

[Chorus]
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The longer the day, the nearer the sun
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The quiet is ours, the work has begun
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The longer the day, the nearer the sun
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The louder I call, the faster it runs
The quiet is ours, the work has begun
The louder I call, the faster it runs
