It's Too Late

She said, "Meet me at the gates at 8 Leave now, don't be late" She said one day she'd walk away 'Cause I was always late Thought things were okay Didn't care anyway Say, "Sorry babe I had to meet a mate", temptin' fate We first met through a shared view She loved me and I did too It's now seven fifty, gettin' ready, better be nifty Do my hair quickly, step out, it's cloudy Mate bells me to borrow money I got two Henry's and a dealer to pay Call upon Geezers to rid these green trees of my reekin' jeans Got a 'You think I care' air, outglarin' Geezers stares I'm here and I'm there Couldn't see past the end of my beer What was gettin' 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 choosin' what to wear Doin' my hear with an hour to spare When my life went pear She'd been there with a thick stare Big wheel climbed to the top Geezers stares bounced off Standin' at the top of this huge mountain Smilin' and shoutin', spring flowers sproutin' 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'm 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 'Till 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 listenin' to her voice mail 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, I got a fat frown Weapin' and drownin' My senses For this love game's expensive I walk in a trance Got a wounded soldier stance The everyday geezers stares Throw me off balance Now nothin' holds significance And nothin' holds relevance 'Cause the only thing I can see Is her elegance I didn't know that it was over 'Till it was too late, too late But if I ever needed you Would you be there? I didn't know that it was over 'Till it was too late, too late But if I ever needed you Would you be there?
