It's Too Late |
She said,"meet me at the gates at 8 |
Leave now, don’t be late" |
She said one day she’d walk away |
'Cause I was always late |
Thought things were okay |
Didn’t care anyway |
Say, «sorry babe |
I had to meet a mate, temptin' fate |
We first met through a shared view |
She loved me and I did too |
It’s now seven fifty, gettin' ready, better be nifty |
Do my hair quickly, step out, it’s cloudy |
Mate bells me to borrow money |
I got two Henrys and a dealer to pay |
Call upon Geezers to rid these green trees of my reekin' jeans |
Got a 'you think I care' air, outglarin' Geezers stares |
I’m here and I’m there |
Couldn’t see past the end of my beer |
What was gettin' near? |
All the silence after the cheers |
I didn’t know that it was over |
'Till it was too late, too late |
But if I ever needed you |
Would you be there? |
She said,"meet me at the gates |
Don’t be late" |
But pretty soon the day came for change |
And I was glad she never walked away |
So I’m chosin' what to wear |
Doin' my hear with an hour to spare |
When my life went pear |
She’d been there with a thick stare |
Big wheel climbed to the top |
Geezers stares bounced off |
Standin' at the top of this huge mountain |
Smilin' and shoution, spring flowers sproutin' |
Not one inch of doubt in my mind |
As I reached the gates |
Came 'round the corner at a rate |
Risked her love but I’m gonna set things straight |
Never again am I gonna be late |
Never again am I gonna be late |
Never again am I gonna be late |
I didn’t know that it was over |
'Till it was too late, too late |
But if I ever needed you |
Would you be there? |
I said, «meet me at the gates |
Leave now, don’t be late» |
I waited for a while listenin' to her voice mail |
Mind set sail |
Then the facs turned me pale |
Wind, rain and hail |
My fears unveiled |
For my fair female |
She’d walked away |
Too little too late |
I step up the pace |
Walk past the gates |
Rain runs over my face |
Spirit falls from grace |
I purchase a hazy escape |
At the alcohol place in the chase |
Sat down, I got a fat frown |
Weapin' and drownin' |
My senses |
For this love game’s expensive |
I walk in a trance |
Got a wounded soldier stance |
The everyday geezers stares |
Throw me off balance |
Now nothin' holds significance |
And nothin' holds relevance |
'Cause the only thing I can see |
Is her elegance |
I didn’t know that it was over |
'Till it was too late, too late |
But if I ever needed you |
Would you be there? |
I didn’t know that it was over |
'Till it was too late, too late |
But if I ever needed you |
Would you be there? |
