It's Later Than You Think

(Grant Peeples)

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.
