Too Late The Hero

(альбом: Lightning Flash - 1983)

He was a boy from New York City
I was a girl from Santa Fe
I met him while out walking
And we just started talking

We stayed together through the daytime
And when he walked me home that night
They came from out the darkness
I heard someone behind us
He turned around to face the fight

The shots they rang out
And I just cried out
I was alone
Too late the hero
Never gonna love again
Too late the hero
Why did it ever have to end?
Too late the hero
Why the hell did they kill him?
Too late the hero
When I think what could have been

Oh, how it hurts when I remember
But I still think about that night
I see his face before me
It's such a sad, sad story
They killed a light that shown strong

The shots they rang out
And I just cried out
I was alone
Too late the hero
Never gonna love again
Too late the hero
Why did it ever have to end?
Too late the hero
Why the hell did they kill him?
Too late the hero
When I think what could have been

Too late the hero
Never gonna love again
Too late the hero
Why did it ever have to end?
Too late the hero
Why the hell did they kill him?
Too late the hero
When I think what could have been
Too late the hero
