Late For The Sky Lyrics - Browne Jackson

The words had all been spoken 

And somehow the feeling still wasn't right 

And still we continued on through the night 

Tracing our steps from the beginning 

Until they vanished into the air 

Trying to understand how our lives had led us there 

Looking hard into your eyes 

The was nobody I'd ever known 

Such an empty surprise to feel so alone 

Now for me some words come easy 

But I know that they don't mean that much 

Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch 

You never knew what I loved in you 

I don't know what you loved in me 

Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be 

Awake again, I can't pretend, and I know I'm alone 

And close to the end of the feeling we've known 

How long have I been sleeping 

How long have I been drifting alone through the night 

How long have I been dreaming I could make it right 

If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might 

To be the one you need 

Awake again, I can't pretend, and I know I'm alone 

And close to the end of the feeling we've known 

How long have I been sleeping 

How long have I been driftin alone through the night 

How long have I been running for that morning flight 

Through the whispered promises and the changing light 

Of the bed where we both lie 

Late for the sky
