With all of these false emotions Being alone, she's just not the same She's a son of a gun, she's a red hot flame She lights the sun and conjures up the rain I was chained to a wishing well Don't look now, she's right behind you Looking for someone to take her inside It thrills her so, it's a rainbow ride
And there ain't much pride inside me She don't know how it hurts It's too late now, she's not the same She's a red hot kid, she's a crying shame
Anytime is the right time To get on with a new tomorrow But I could never let yesterday go And when the falling rain makes me sad She comes to me in the dreams I've had In the morning light, in the dead of night
An' I let it get the best of me She don't know how it hurts It's too late now, she don't talk no more She don't make me feel like she did before There's too much wait and too much give and take
And there ain't much pride inside me She don't know how it hurts Too late now, she's just not the same It's too late now, she's not the same It's too late now, she's not the same More from Gordon Lightfoot
