All Of A Sudden [it's Too Late] lyrics

What can I say?

Why do we starve a thing that's near extinction?

From day to day

These weeds of fear

Are choking our conviction

Life's like a jigsaw

You get the straight bits

But there's something missing in the middle.

All of a sudden, we find the cupboard's bare

All of a sudden, we find heaven's not there

All of a sudden, we find the sun's gone cold

All of a sudden, we find we're more than old

All of a sudden, we find that we've lost love

So please don't push or shove because

It's too late

It's too late

In all your hurry, you've accidentally locked the gate

What can we do?

Trying to stem the flow of sand is useless

It's up to you start holding hands

And watch the balance redress

Life's like a firework

You're only lit once

And you must stand and radiate correctly

Love's not a product you can hoard

or pack a suitcase with

It's more a way you have to give
