Rush - Vapor Trail lyrics

Stratospheric traces of our transitory flight
Trails of condensation held
In narrow paths of white
The sun is turning black
The world is turning gray
All the stars fade from the night
The oceans drain away

Horizon to horizon
Memory written on the wind
Fading away, like an hourglass
Grain by grain
Swept away like voices in a hurricane
In a vapor trail in a vapor trail

Atmospheric phases make the transitory last
Vaporize the memories that freeze
The fading past silence all the song birds
Stilled by the killing frost
Forests burn to ashes everything is lost

Horizon to horizon
Memory written on the wind
Washed away like footprints in the rain
Swept away like voices in a hurricane
In a vapor trail in a vapor trail

Washed away like footprints in the rain
Swept away like voices in a hurricane

In a vapor trail in a vapor trail
In a vapor trail in a vapor trail
In a vapor trail in a vapor trail
In a vapor trail in a vapor trail
