music & lyrics: valerie vigoda © 1995 (ASCAP) he is walking to her house fingers poised above the bell but he cannot find the courage so he walks away -- oh well he writes a heartfelt letter but he doesn't send it off so he tiptoes through his life till every chance at love is lost and he sees her now, as he sees her always looking like a lonely angel he sees her now, as she was in those days but that won't help him now it won't help him now... chorus: oh no -- it's too late and time will pass you by words you don't say become the tears that you do cry she is cradling her baby in some ancient memory but that dream is closer to her than that child will ever be and she watches as he's growing just for six weeks every june she yearns for some connection but he always leaves too soon and she sees him now, as she sees him always looking like a perfect stranger she takes his hand, reaching for the old days but that won't help her now he won't have her now... chorus we ride this speeding train tunnel's dark, tracks are narrow moving faster every day i look back for a glimpse of sun and find you gone... so many times we shy away waiting for the perfect moment when we'll know just what to say now i'm ready, speech prepared and you are gone and the train goes on chorus

good friday came early, some might say that’s just as well it’s a wreckingball afternoon, leave everything where it fell and the things that were said still ring in your head. you’d give anything to be wrong but there’s no turning back, too late’s come + gone now it’s somerville avenue rain and the night’s coming down and you’re looking for someone to blame in an innocent town on the road all alone, getting further from home, every step that you take feels so long but there’s no turning back, too late’s come + gone i remember the light in your eyes put the neon to shame. and the smoke hidden deep in your throat when you’d whisper my name. oh the road is so rough, it’s all been enough, i got no idea how we go on. but there’s no turning back. too late’s come and gone. hallelulia. © 2003 kris delmhorst/big bean music/ASCAP
