Too Late
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Billy's leaving today, don't know where he was going
Holds his head in disgrace, he can't escape the truth
He knows the price that he's paid,
He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
all the door's closed, but he's always open
'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy
Billy's leaving today, don't know where he was going
He's got lines on his face they tell a story of his pain
He accepts it's his fate,
He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
all the door's closed, but he's always open
'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy
Once he was a lover sleeping with another,
Now he's just known as a cheat
And he wished he had a mirror looked a little clearer
Seen to the eyes of the weak
Yeah, once he was a lover sleepin' with another,
Now he's just known as a cheat
And he wished he had a mirror looked a little clearer
Seen to the eyes of the weak
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late (too late)
all the door's closed, but he's always open
'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy
Oh billy
