too late love comes

my home has been a warrior field

where now and then i've seen

a rainbow rising over the graves

down in the gentle green

and as i waltzed across the mine

time sped to breathlessly

as i fought for love

and i sang for love

too late

love comes to me

i saw you coming over the hill

so strong

so brave

so true

i fell down to my knees and cried

the way i used to do

it came at such surprise to me

i thought those tears had passed

is it god who laughs this heart awake?

too late

love comes at last

o lovers how they come and go

like waves upon the shore

brave hearts can drown in the briny deep

and still cry out for more

my treasure's in the water now

my pearls are lost at sea

and my heart must bend like a rainbow

too late

you've come to me
