Lyrics

(Verse 1)
A silver moon and silver clouds running threads across the sky
Like silvers dreams running through my head, I watch them pass me by
The night air is heavy without a breeze, as my thoughts speak right out loud
You must be working late again, why else would you be out...

(Chorus)
So late, so late, so late, so late

(Verse 2)
Am I the last to figure out what everyone else can see?
Could it be those diamond earrings were for someone else not me?
I found them in your favorite drawer, where you didn't think I'd see
But my birthday's passed and it's six months 'til our anniversary

(Chorus)
mm-hmm, mm-hmm

(Gtr interlude)

(Verse 3)
The clock is ticking on endlessly, its big numbers turning small
You've been gone since early evening, haven't heard from you at all
The sun is waking up the dawn, the sky turns from gray to blue
I'm holding back the tears as I hear a car, but it's not you

(Chorus)
And it's so late, so late. It's so late, so late.
