It's Too Late
(专辑: Original Pirate Material - 2002)
She said, "Meet me at the
gates at eight Leave now, don't be late." She said one day she'd walk away 'cause I
was always late Thought things were OK Didn't care though anyway Say, "Sorry, babe, I
had to meet a
mate," tempting fate We first met through a
shared view, she loved me and I
did too It's now 7:50, getting 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 up on geezers to rid these green trees of my reeking jeans Got a
"You think I
care?" air, out-glaring geezers' stares I'm here and I'm there Couldn't see past the
end of my beer What was getting near all the
silence after the
cheers I
didn't know that it was over 'Til 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 choosing what to wear Doing my hair with an hour to spare When my life went pear, she'd been there with a
thick stare Big wheel climbed to the
top Geezer stares bounced off Standing at the
top of this huge mountain Smiling and shouting, spring flowers sprouting 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
was 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 'Til 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 listening to her voicemail, mind set sail Then the
facts 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, got a
fat frown Weeping and drowning my senses For this love game's expensive I
walk in a
trance Got a
wounded soldier's stance And the
everyday geezers' stares throw me off balance Now nothing holds significance And nothing holds relevance 'Cause the
only thing I
can see is her elegance I
didn't know that it was over 'Til it was too late (Too late) But if I
ever needed you Would you be there? I
didn't know that it was over 'Til it was too late (Too late) But if I
ever needed you Would you be there?
