When Time Slips Away

I’m always too late, When I have to say something important, When I have to keep a promise, When I have to call out to her, When I have to bring her back— I’m always too late. In the changing dawn of seasons, When my heart needs to hold on, When I have to remember someone, When I need to forget someone— I’m always too late. Before saving someone from death, Or shielding them from sorrow, When I need to tell the truth— That reality was something else entirely— I’m always too late.
