Late Afternoon Lyrics & Chords By Theo Bard

TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN
YEAH THIS IS DESTINY. WRITTEN IN THE SAND
TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN
COME ON MY FRIEND, GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND
YOU THINK THE FORECAST IS SUNNY AND BRIGHT
THE GRASS IS GROWING, YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT
BUT SPARKS ARE FLYING AND FIRES WILL LIGHT
THOSE BLAZING BONFIRES GONNA BURN THROUGH THE NIGHT

NOW YOU THINK THAT IT'S STILL EARLY. BUT IT'S LATE AFTERNOON
IF YOU WANNA TURN A NEW LEAF. MAKE IT SOON

TIME IS A FRAGILE LITTLE THING
DELICATE AND GRACEEULL LIKE THE SWALLOW'S WING
TIME IS A FRAGILE LITTLE THING
HEAR IT IN THE BREATH YOU TAKE AND THE RHYTHMS THAT I SING
MAN SAW THE BIRDS, UP SO HIGH
BUILT HIMSELF WINGS SO THAT HE COULD FLY
BUT WINGS OF WAX; THEYRE NOT SO STRONG
THOSE WAXY THINGS GONNA BURN BEFORE LONG

NOW YOU THINK THAT IT'S STILL EARLY...

TIME IS AS PRECIOUS AS THE SKY
THE BREATH YOU BREATH, THE SIGHTS YOU SEE, MONEY CANNOT BUY
TIME IS AS PRECIOUS AS THE SKY
FROM THE MOMENT THAT YOU'RE BORN UNTIL THE DAY YOU DIE
SO HOW LONG HAVE WE LEFT?
IT'S CLEAR WE CANNOT SAY; SOME PEOPLE LIVE A HUNDRED YEARS, AND SOME
WILL DIE TODAY
AND THOUGH WE'RE TIED TO TWISTED FORTUNE AND EVERY DAY MAY BE OUR LAST
WE MUST DO ALL THAT WE CAN DO TO SEE THE AGES PASS

YOU THINK THAT IT'S STILL EARLY...
