Tomorrow's Just Too Late Lyrics - Brother's Blood - Kevin Devine

You drag your tiger's paw across 

Your chapped and cracking lips 

And open up a crimson slur 

You spread each time you kiss 

The broken boy you bargain with 

To turn back to the man 

That you fell in love with once 

But never saw again 

Is he in there? Do you think he drowned to death? 

Well it's his decision to show his face again 

You grind your tired teeth 

And curse the day that you were born 

To a sunken line of Irish wives a million miles long 

Devoted to the suffering they're certain they deserve 

A husband's a cross to bear 

Worry lines and a silver string of hair 

Come too early, come to steal your sainted youth 

Well it's your decision to stay or else to move 

And I'm not a man of faith, no gospel oak for me 

But you wear a crucifix to broadcast your beliefs 

And the god I've read about can't go where he's not asked to go 

So you've got a choice to make 

Shut him out, save yourself, or sit and wait 

But you're waiting on a man who will not move 

So you must move for him and do what he can't do 

'Cause it's worth it, that's the one life you can change 

And I'm sorry sister, but it has to end this way 

Yeah, it's scary sister, but tomorrow's just too late 

So stand up sister 

There's an albatross to shake
