Late Afternoon

Time waits for no man
Yeah this is destiny written in the sand
Time waits for no man
Come on my friends, get your heads out of the sand

You think the forecast is sunny and bright
The grass is growing - you might be right
But sparks are flying and fires will light
Those blazing bonfires gonna burn through the night

Now you think that it's still early, but it's late afternoon
If you want to turn a new leaf, make it soon
Yeah you think that it's still early, but it's late afternoon
If you want to turn a new leaf, make it soon

Time is a fragile little thing
Delicate and graceful like the swallow's wing
Time is a fragile little thing
Hear it in the breath you take and the rhythms that I sing

Man saw the birds up so high
Built himself wings so that he could fly
But wings of wax, they're not so strong
Those waxy things gonna burn before long

Now you think that it's still early, but it's late afternoon
If you want to turn a new leaf, make it soon
Yeah you think that it's still early, but it's late afternoon
If you want to turn a new leaf, make it soon

Time is as precious as the sky
The breath you breathe, the sights you see, money cannot buy
Time is as precious as the sky
From the moment that you're born until the day you die

So how long have we left? It's clear we cannot say
Some people live a hundred years and some will die today
And though we're tied to twisted fortune and every day may be our last
We must do all that we can do to see the ages pass

Now you think that it's still early, but it's late afternoon
If you want to turn a new leaf, make it soon
Yeah you think that it's still early, but it's late afternoon
If you want to turn a new leaf
Make it soon

Make it soon
Make it soon
Make it soon
Make it soon

Make it soon
Make it soon...
