Tim O'brien - Late in the Day lyrics

[Verse 1] Late in the day when shadows start to play On my backdoor and up and down this alleyway I think back on the times with your hand in mine We say talking low, late in the day It seems you never know a good thing 'til it goes Slippin' through your fingers, that's just the price I pay For bein' on my own and doin' the best I can Now I'm alone without a plan, late in the day [Chorus] Now I pour whiskey, break the ice Put my feet up and close my eyes I try hard to listen to what my heart might say Try to find the rhyme to take me back in time And be with you here, late in the day [Bridge?] Now, I look out over tops of houses and the shops As the sun sets, another day does wind down And my life is still the same, my lips still call your name And my heart can't hide the pain, late in the day [Chorus] Now I pour whiskey, break the ice Put my feet up and close my eyes I try hard to listen to what my heart might say Try to find the rhyme to take me back in time And be with you here, late in the day My life is still the same My lips still call your name And my heart can't hide the pain Late in the day
