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.
