Too Late - Bob Catley

Outside the moon is playing

On star-like timpani

I feel the gloom embracing

This twilight symphony

And still the brightest comet

Pales in the light from your eyes

My love, I stand before you

Transformed in masquerade

I have become this creature

Maimed by a twist of fate

The opera house was burning

They thought I’d died, I survived

Darling, sleep

Be at peace with your dreams tonight

Let their bittersweet threads

Weave the music of light

Too late, this taste for romance

Refrains of wasted hope

Too late, too late

To take this starring role

Betrayed, this faithless omen

Berate this cameo

Too late, too late

This face is scarred enough

There can be no escaping

How can I set you free?

I pray that your forgiveness

Might find its way to me

See through this apparition

Come look behind this disguise

My Christine

You are more than my world could mean

You’ve become my obsession

My reason, my life

Too late, this taste for romance

Refrains of wasted hope

Too late, too late

To take this starring role

Betrayed, this faithless omen

Berate this cameo

Too late, too late

This face is scarred enough

Too late, this taste for romance

Refrains of wasted hope

Too late, too late

To take this starring role

Betrayed, this faithless omen

Berate this cameo

Too late, too late

This face is scarred enough

Too late, this taste for romance

Refrains of wasted hope

Too late, too late

To take this starring role

Betrayed, this faithless omen

Berate this cameo

Too late, too late

This face is scarred enough

Too late

Too late
