Too Late Now - Yonder Mountain String Band

As I woke up at the dawn of the day

And I felt no one there beside me

And I felt life like a clock tickin' on

This road ahead and behind me

I knew this day would be different

Different from any I’ve known

I’m listenin' hard for the call

So that I can move on

But it’s too late now

I’m on the highway headed for the coast

But it’s too late now

I’m tryin' to beat time I suppose

As I sit still on the shining distant shore

Not sure what he was trying to say

Where’s the answer that I came looking for

Surely be laying in wait for me

Some times I’m not sure what I’m doing

Riding alone in the night

Searchin' hard for the answers

Searching for the light

But it’s too late now

From the highway to the street to the avenue

But it’s too late now

Am I doin' what I’m supposed to do?

There’s a long and winding road That’s led me this far from my home

I can turn on my heels But I choose to move on

Searchin' hard for the answers, Lord

But the questions aren’t comin' out right

All you know is the darkness

You pray that someday, someday, someday

Now you just might, just might, just might

Well it seems like another uneventful day

Never needed to stray so far — oh Lord

I just opened up my eyes

Looked around and realized

Everything I always wanted was in front of me

And now my days are different;

Different from days I have known

Sometimes you gotta hit the road

To wind up back home (oh back sweet home)

But it’s too late now

To convince me once again to go

But it’s too late now

Where I’s coming home is where I belong
