Late Blues Lyrics

T-bone Walker Late Blues

If i get lost along the way to meet you
If i'm more than a little late
If i get caught up in circles chasing my own tail
If i trip up and fail you
If i let you down
If i let you down

I can see that injury that accompanies the passage of you
I can try to rationalize the accumulation of fear
And the dreams that draw a song in pursuit of the end of
time
And the grace that illuminates the past
If i let you down
If i let you down

In the night the city's quiet
From the rooftop we can see the moon rise high above the
clouds
Just enough light to see our faces give expression to the
words
We thought but didn't speak
And then you asked me a question that i won't forget
Even if i spend my life trying to live up to what it
means
If i let you down
If i let you down

Don't let it break down
Don't let it break down
Don't let it break down
