Lyrics It's Too Late - Remastered - Lon Bové

A baby cries in the night
"unchain me, i belong to the light"
While momma and daddy fight
"i'm waiting for my time
My time to fly"
A robin wings through the night
It's red breast gasping to find
Some haven, safe from the blight
Of the concrete and fear that's killing the places she flies

It's too late when the blood's on the floor
It's too late when the wolf's at the door
It's too late whent the nail's in the cross
While we wait for tomorrow each beat of the heart is lost

A mother, determined to hide
No longer her feelings inside
Packs up her suitcase with the rest of her life
Smiles at her fears and clutches the wings of the light

It's too late when the blood's on the floor
It's too late when the wolf's at the door
It's too late whent the nail's in the cross
While we wait for tomorrow each beat of the heart is lost

How may times will my carousel turn around?
Wake me up 'cause when my clock runs down
Who's gonna buy me another minute
I've got the cash but my hands can't spend it
I bought the card but my arms can't send it
You know i love you but my lips can't say it

It's too late when the blood's on the floor
It's too late when the wolf's at the door
It's too late whent the nail's in the cross
While we wait for tomorrow each beat of the heart is lost
