Bob Catley Too Late
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
