It’s Late


You say you love me, and I hardly know your name
And if I say I love you in the candlelight
There’s no-one but myself to blame
But there’s something inside, that’s turning my mind away
Oh how I could love you, if I could let you stay

It’s late, but I’m bleeding deep inside
It’s late, is it just my sickly pride?
Too late, even now the feeling seems to steal away
So late, though I’m crying I can’t help but hear you say
It’s late, it’s late, it’s late
But not too late

The way you love me, is the sweetest love around
But after all this time, the more I’m trying
The more I seem to let you down
Now you tell me you’re leaving, and I just can’t believe it’s true
Oh you know that I can love you, though I know I can’t be true
Oh you made me love you, don’t tell me that we’re through

It’s late, but it’s driving me so mad
It’s late, yes I know but don’t try to tell me that it’s
Too late, save our love you can’t turn out the lights
So late, I’ve been wrong but I’ll learn to be right
It’s late, it’s late, it’s late
But not too late

I’ve been so long – You’ve been so long
We’ve been so long trying to work it out
I ain’t got long – You ain’t got long
We gotta know what this life is all about

Too late much too late

You’re staring at me
With suspicion in your eye, you say what game are you playing?
What’s this that you’re saying?, I know that I can’t reply
If I take you tonight, is it making my life a lie?
Oh you make me wonder, did I live my life alright?

It’s late, but it’s time to set me free
It’s late, yes I know but there’s no way it has to be
Too late, so let the fire take our bodies this night
So late, so let the waters take our guilt in the tide
It’s late, it’s late, it’s late, it’s late
It’s late, it’s late, it’s all too late
