Afraid It's Too Late

   She sits at the window
   All dressed in white
   Been a long time since she's cried
   Tears called ....tumbling down
   She remembers her childhood brown
   She's afraid it's too late

   She steps out on the porch
   Takes a minute from her day
   Just like when she was a child
   To listen what the wind would say
   She was carefree like the children are today
   Say, ?? loves you, won't you come out and play
   She's afraid it's too late

   When she was a child
   She had crowns hiding gold
   With such awe, each flower she did hold
   And she...the grass beneath her feet
   How she hated things that were already late

   They took away her laughter
   They took away her crown
   They said "hey girl, you gotta keep your feet on the ground"
   She said "oh, but they are"
   They say "Well laughter won't pay your bills"
   A flower fell from her hand, falling still
   They taught her to be respectable
   Responsible somehow
   They taught her to be in every....
   She forgot how it felt to have leaves of grass beneath her feet
   Now every thought screams to return to her childhood royalty
   She's afraid it's too late

   She takes one last moment
   Before going inside
   She takes a coat
   To dry her eye
   She ... and it all becomes clear
   It's probably laughter that gets you what you need
   ....More than here
   She's afraid it's too late

   La la la la
