LATE

Under some dirty words On a dirty wall Eating take-out by myself I played the show Got back in the van and put the walkman on And you were playing In some other dive a thousand miles away I played a thousand times before And like pathetic stars The truck stops and rock club walls I always knew You saw them too But you never will again It's too late Don't you know It's been too late for a long time Elliott, man you played a fine guitar And some dirty basketball The songs you wrote Got me through a lot Just wanna tell you that But it's too late It's too late Don't you know It's been too late for a long time Oh no, things were looking up At least that's what I heard Oh no, someone came and washed away Your hard-earned peace of mind When desperate static beats the silence up A quiet truth to calm you down The songs you wrote Got me through a lot Just wanna tell you that But It's too late It's too late Don't you know It's been too late for a long time It's too late It's too late Don't you know It's been too late for a long time
