Elder Island Late At Night
Late at night
Let it lie
More than I earn
More than I ever wanted
Carefully warned
They're from tomorrow counting
But dark clouds move slow
We've time enough to stand in this sunlight
I'm older now and I should know how it's done
I should know how it's done
Let it lie
Put it on ice
You know the problem's always sweeter down the line
You'll pick it right back up when the times are nice
Let it lie
You'll pick it right back up when you close your eyes
Late at night
Late at night
In the time it took to learn
You could have a life unhaunted
A moment's frozen
Could it be all that you hoped
Will you take the odds on offer
Just say the words and
Put it on ice
You know the problem's always sweeter down the line
You'll pick it right back up when the times are nice
You'll pick it right back up when you close your eyes
Late at night
Late at night
Late at night
More than I ever
More than I wanted
Carefully warned
