about

Written as a talisman in the hope that it would turn out not to be prophetic. It was. Such is life. Sometimes logic and reasons just aren't enough.

Recorded in Staunton, VA

lyrics

I hear what you’re saying, I know what I’ve done,
I’ve turned this whole summer to rain.
When it should have been breezy and warm in the sun,
Just give me a chance to explain:
I’ll give you my reasons concisely and clear,
I know you’ve had too many seasons this year
When you needed me badly, and I wasn’t here.

Too little, too late to start over this time.
Sure your hours were great but your years were unkind.
I was blind for a while to what you did to my fate,
But you gave me too little, too late.

Remember the winter when I kept you warm,
The fever that I helped you cool.
I should have stayed with you and held out the storm,
And I know that that makes me a fool.
I’ll lay out my logical lapses, confess
All the times I convinced you I needed you less
Than I needed you, truly I’ll give you my best

(But you said) Too little, too late to start over this time.
Sure your moments were great but your years were unkind.
I might have forgiven you making me wait,
But you gave me too little, too late.

I’ll give you my reasons…
I’ll list all my logical lapses…

Too little, too late to start over this time.
A few moments were great but your years were unkind.
I might bear some ill will but you’re too hard to hate,
You just gave me too little, too late.
