The Band - Too Soon Gone lyrics

Last night the constellations Watched me walk at half past twelve With some people you don't see the whole picture all at once Like you fill in the gaps in the stars all by yourself And who has time in this world of worries Drives you crazy makes you mad, When you make the mistake just a little too late You're missing something now that you never knew you had So how do I answer these blues you say I've got Too soon gone, too soon gone Time makes me pay for these memories I've bought Too soon gone, too soon gone No one lives forever Who would want to But you're too soon gone, too soon gone Too soon gone, too soon gone Pretty soon now all this ice will melt And buds will get ready to break But every leaf that grows In the language that it knows Says that winter will return now and these trees are gonna shake So how do I answer these blues you say I've got? Too soon gone, too soon gone Time sweeps me forward, as memory is caught Too soon gone, too soon gone Too soon gone, too soon gone
