My breath hangs

A frozen sound

Their blades bite the icy ground

A man in black says some pretty words

Claps my back and then he’s gone

It’s too late, it’s too late

The summer fled it left us to the rain

It’s too late, it’s too late

All the promises lie broken in vain

It’s late at night

I’m on your street

Asphalt puddles around my feet

I stand alone under street-lamp glow

I know the way but I can’t go back

It’s too late, it’s too late

I knew you could not take the pain

It’s too late, it’s too late

The winter came it left us standing naked

Naked in the rain

They’re taking it down and they’re boarding it up

The house that we knew when we were growing up

But you’re still inside

All the silences stretched over the time we shared

We knew our lines, we were so damn prepared

But we just couldn’t face to say that I love you

Too late, it’s never too late

To run with the dogs and chase away our fears

Too late, it’s never too late

To say the words we all needed to hear

My prayer hangs

A frozen sound

Flowers litter the muddy ground

On your windowsill the candle flickers still

Twigs scraping against the slate

But it’s just too late
