LATE IN THE GAME

Well here is a song I wrote, that I came across in all my digging thru old papers.

               LATE IN THE GAME

That's not the face I loved
set in frozen lines & disapproving glare
Your heart has flown away
& I cant imagine where
We used to share such joy
& basic love of life
Now we live in separate boxes
of complicated lives

          (CHORUS)
     I wonder what might have changed
     I wonder if you'll stay
     I wonder if it's worth it
     Well it's late in the game

Too much time has passed
to walk away unscathed
Are there any pieces left to gather
or is it all a waste
But tomorrow the sun will shine
I know as I stand here
Whether you will see my face or back
it's all still so unclear

The path of least resistance
is always the easy way
But where reluctant feet will lead us
what words are left to say
For good or bad the choice is ours
it's time for a fresh start
My mind cries out for one thing
but I'm breathing through my heart

          (CHORUS)
     I wonder what might have changed
     I wonder if I'll stay
     I wonder if it's worth it
     Well it's late in the game
     I wonder what might have changed
     I wonder if you'll stay
     I wonder if it's worth it
     Well it's too late in the game
     It's late in the game
     It's too late in the game
     Well it's too late in the game.
