Afraid It's Too Late

She sits at the window

All dressed in white

Been a long time since she's cried

Tears called ....tumbling down

She remembers her childhood brown

She's afraid it's too late



She steps out on the porch

Takes a minute from her day

Just like when she was a child

To listen what the wind would say

She was carefree like the children are today

Say, ?? loves you, won't you come out and play

She's afraid it's too late



When she was a child

She had crowns hiding gold

With such awe, each flower she did hold

And she...the grass beneath her feet

How she hated things that were already late



They took away her laughter

They took away her crown

They said "hey girl, you gotta keep your feet on the ground"

She said "oh, but they are"

They say "well laughter won't pay your bills"

A flower fell from her hand, falling still

They taught her to be respectable

Responsible somehow

They taught her to be in every....

She forgot how it felt to have leaves of grass beneath her feet

Now every thought screams to return to her childhood royalty

She's afraid it's too late



She takes one last moment

Before going inside

She takes a coat

To dry her eye

She ... and it all becomes clear

It's probably laughter that gets you what you need

....more than here

She's afraid it's too late



La la la la

La la da da laaah
