Later Than You Think She called in the morning Just driving through In a month she’s digging Through clothes in my room We had tried this once or twice But were always out of sync “I best get on the road” she said “It’s later than you think” The eve’ning sun was low And the nights were getting long I was feeling old And the tarot sign was on “I have my free will My fortune’s not in ink” She said, “Give me your hand now It’s later than you think Later than you think Stick round Learn to love this town I see a way In what will transpire Follow her through this cold world of ours You’ll find your place Your seat by the fire” The clock was striking twelve The golden hour was gone We found the higher road So many wandered on A hundred miles later We began to sing “Though the way is long Its later than you think" Last time we talked Sharing pictures on your phone We said we’d travel South When the flowers were in bloom But when I got the call I didn’t know what to think Our time had just run out It’s always later than you think Copyright 2021 Geoffrey Raines
