Late Afternoon

I guess it's cool if we wait a while
I got nothing but time
'Cause when I ask you
How you really feel,
I want to talk to you
like a good friend of mine.

'Cause I heard that life's too short
to live with hurt, so full of doubt
I need to tell you now,
that i'm learning how to work it out

do do do do do do, do do,
do do do do, yeah

I will sing this song for you,
for you, for you

It's a game, and underneath the shells
Truth, vanity and what sells
I know you told me
which one I should pick
But how many times must I fall
for the same damn trick?

I've got to lose myself to find myself to find a way,
to show you how I feel, this love is real,
What I -- I mean to say,

do do do do do do, do do,
do do do do, yeah

I will sing this song for you,
for you, for you

And if my heart is like a house
Bet I'll find you in every room
Throwing light in the darkness
and building fires in the late afternoon

Oh, just me and you, baby
By the fireside
In the late afternoon
