Too late Too late

Too late is all I got

Too late too late
too loud my nerves are shot

Too late for the horror

for the whippoorwill
and the pedal steel

my baby thanks a lot

We're drinking & we're dancing
but there's nothing really happening
(you would say) it's dead as heaven
          on a Saturday night

I loved you high
I loved you low

Too late, too late, my love

I'm homeward bound

Too late, too late, my (verdict's) permit's been denied
Too late too late
          O the crying from the
          other side
          of the virgin ??

too late, too late
          O my love don't ask me why
too late, too late
          for the (heart) (heat) (day) night to break
          and the whippoorwill to cry
baby cry

I've missed you since the place was wrecked
by the winds of change, the wilds of sex
it looks like freedom, feels like death
its something in between, I guess
          it's Closing Time

Ever since the place was wrecked
by the winds of change
          and the rise (wilds) of sex
it feels like freedom, feels like death
its something in between, I guess
          it Closing Time

Too late, too late, O my love
          don't ask me why
Too late for the fiddle and the pedal steel

Too late, too late for the fiddle to weep
          for the whippoorwill to cry

Too late, too late
          Oh my love
          don't ask me why

Too late for the fiddle and the pedal steel
too late          and the waterwheel

too late, too late
          O my love don't ask me why
too late, too late
          for the fiddle to weep
          weeping fiddle & the pedal
          steel

too late too late
          for the whippoorwill to cry

too late to late
          for the heart to break
and the whippoorwill to cry cry baby

too late, too late
          O my love don't ask me why
too late, too late
          for the heat to break
          and the whippoorwill to cry,
          baby cry,

too late, too late
          to late my precious friend
to late for another day to break
to late for the night to end

too late, too late,
          too late my precious friend
too late too late
          for the day to break
too late for the night to end

I loved you for your beauty
It was slavery, it was cruelty
Yah but you were in it for your beauty
          too
I loved you for your body
It was awful when you spotted me
          behaving like your body might be you

There's a voice that sounds like God to me
declaring that your body's really you

but that didn't make a fool of me

I loved you for your beauty

& it might made a fool of me

but you were in it for your
          beauty too

I loved you for your body

There's a voice that sounds

          like God to me

declaring that your body's really you


THE END!!
