Eric Woolfson Lyrics
"Too Late [Cast Album]"

When you were standing in the rain I gave you shelter
Now I come knocking at your door, you give me none
Well I don't make that kind of deal with anybody
And I won't be that fool for anyone

How would you feel if the tables had been turned?
What would you do if the bridges had been burned?

Is it too late now, the magic's lost
Too late now, the spell is broken
Too late now to count the cost
Of words that should remain
Unspoken

And I protected you from those who tried to harm you
And I believed you though I knew the words were lies
And it was me to had to say that I was sorry
And it was me you always cut right down to size

How many danger signs did you ignore?
How many times have you heard it all before?

'Cause it's too late now, the magic's lost
Too late now, the spell is broken
Too late now to count the cost
Of words that should remain
Unspoken

And now I need you by my side, you stand above me
And when I look into your eyes, you turn away
Well if that's the best there is, then I won't buy it
And if that's the only game, then I won't play

How do you feel now the tables had been turned?
What will you do now the bridges had been burned?

'Cause it's too late now, the magic's lost
Too late now, the spell is broken
Too late now to count the cost
Of words that should remain
Unspoken

And I've been waiting for so long without good reason
(I see the world, I'm looking from a high place)
And I was hoping for a change that never came
(Way above it all, standing on higher ground)
And it was always me who ended up the loser
(I breathe the air while they're running in a rat race)
And it was always me who had to take the blame
(Way above it all, standing on higher ground)

How many danger signs did you ignore?
How many times have you heard it all before?

'Cause it's too late now, the magic's lost
Too late now, the spell is broken
Too late now to count the cost
Of words that should remain...

Too late now, the magic's lost
Too late now, the spell is broken

Too late now to count the cost
(My ship is, is sailing, sailing, with the high tide)
Of words that should remain unspoken

Too late now, the magic's lost
(I will be, be sailing, standing on the inside)
Too late now, the spell is broken

Too late now to count the cost
(My ship is, is sailing)
Of words that should remain...
