Too Late For Lullabies - James Morrison

Ooohhhh

It’s a sad song that has no end

It’s a bleeding heart that never mends

A minor miracle we can still pretend

After so long

Did the apple fall too far from the tree?

Did we get lost in the space in-between?

But the roots that we buried so deep

Will always be strong

Too late for lullabies

Too soon for it alright

Love takes its toll sometimes

Let’s start a clean slate, mistakes are moments in time

For every time you ever raised up your hand

I’ll give you mine to show you I understand

You taught me to fly by learning to fall

Ooo yeah

Love burns when it’s in the blood

And god knows I burnt you the best I could

How can three words be so misunderstood?

We got it so wrong

Yeah the greatest gift that you ever gave to me

You don’t know your strength 'till you’ve faced defeat

So when everything’s just out of reach

Keep holding on

Too late for lullabies

Too soon for it alright

Love takes its toll sometimes

Let’s start a clean slate, mistakes are moments in time

For every time you ever raised up your hand

I’ll give you mine to show you I understand

You taught me to fly by learning to fall

We built a brick wall but it’s all for nothing

Only bridges will cross this divide

We both know this road leads to nowhere

There is nothing left for you to hide

Too late for lullabies

Too soon for it alright

Love takes its toll sometimes

Let’s start a clean slate, mistakes are moments in time

For every time you ever raised up your hand

I’ll give you mine to show you I understand

You taught me to fly by love by learning to fall

Too late for lullabies

Too soon for it alright

Love takes its toll sometimes

Let’s start a clean slate, mistakes are moments in time

For every time you ever raised up your hand

I’ll give you mine to show you I understand

You taught me to fly by love by learning to fall
