"Too Late To Cry" lyrics

"Too Late To Cry"

Sitting all alone with my whisky on ice
I wonder why he's not with me tonight
If the raven owns the night then I won't sleep
I'm haunted by this loneliness I keep

And it's too late to cry 'cause we left it all behind
Too late to cry 'cause there's nothing left to find
You won't get more than you're living for
And it's too late to cry tonight

There doesn't seem much point in us carrying on
We pretend to try but the feelings are gone
I hear the dove that has lost his mate
The silence that follows him tells me about our fate

And it's too late to cry 'cause we left it all behind
Too late to cry 'cause there's nothing left to find
You won't get more than you're living for
And it's too late to cry tonight

The empty glass before me tells the story in my eyes
The dimness it has giving me won't let me realize
That love is more or less the state of mind we go through
With no guarantee to what it holds me or you

And it's too late to cry 'cause we left it all behind
Too late to cry 'cause there's nothing left to find
You won't get more than you're living for
And it's too late to cry tonight
