[Mourning Widows] Too Late

 

 

 

 

There you were a mile away from home
You thought for sure you were in Rome 
And then I showed up with myself 
One second lasts forever 
It's too late 
But I should have known better 
It's too late 
You know, I should have known better 
It's too late 
Yeah, I should have known better 
Where do we go from here? 
Last time I saw you, your throat was a savage 
It opened up my whole chest 
My heart fell onto the ground and it 
Bruised the grass, made a mess 
I remember how the moon was cracked 
The clouds were dirty so you went 
And drank the light till it was dark 
A sudden snow in summer 
I saw the vertical plunge of a dream 
The human pain,the work of art 
I fell for your skeleton,diving in deep 
The love was deep 
Your love was quicksand 
I feel the wisdom of your feet 
The miles and miles they walked 
The night you held the earth between your knees 
I couldn't stop the bleeding
