I knew you could not forget me, couldn't if you tried You'd spoken truth on upper street: I was your soul & you were mine But the fire was too hot for you & you took your burned hand away & gave it to an ordinary love to soothe it every day And now you come to me too late too late And now you come to me too late
Where there were no barriers you've grown up ghosts between us now Their cold fingers pull me back They hunt my courage down And now you come to me too late You sold your lovely soul While I never found the one who had the currency for mine And now you come to me too late
