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 tryin' 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
