It's Later Than You Think

What's a meta for?
IT’S LATER THAN YOU THINK
It’s later than it seems
Shadows long and dark
The party’s almost over, now
And something else is about to start
The circus tent is folding up
Ice is melting in the glass
The drunken host, he’s made a toast
He wants to make this party last
But a dark new day is dawning
As things edge closer to the brink
Yes, it’s early in the morning
But it’s later than you think
Bm Am C D
I cry into the river, I sing my mournful songs
I see through the smoke and mirrors, but still
find myself alone
Hear the ticking of the clock
See the sand move through the glass
The church bells chime, a canary dies
And the light starts fading fast
As a dark new day is dawning
And things move closer to the brink
Yes, it’s early in the morning
But it’s later than you think
Oh its early in the morning
But so much later than we think.
