Hue and Cry
Late in the Day
[Verse 1]
Suburban fog and headlamp lights
I hope they'll hide me until dawn

[Chorus]
Late in the day, that's when I realized
Late in the day, that these rooms wouldn't hold you anymore

[Verse 2]
There's a riverside that welcomes me
Whenever I am hung and drawn

[Chorus]
Late in the day, yeah, that's when I realized
Too late in the day, that these rooms wouldn't hold you anymore
So late in the day, shadows are whispering
Too late in the day, nothing here but these breaking sticks and stones

[Verse 3]
I return with all my keys at hand
To find you sitting there on the floor

[Chorus]
Late in the day, yeah, that's when I realized
So late in the day, that these rooms will not hold you anymore
Too late in the day, yeah, yeah, mercifully, someone cries
Too late in the day, and these rooms will be holding us once more
[Bridge]
Na, na, yeah
I can't get laughter out of my head
Na, na, yeah
Intimacies felt and said
Na, na, yeah
Witnessing the alley kiss
Na, na, yeah
Oh, I envy their simpleness
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Envy their simpleness
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

[Outro]
Too late in the day, too late in the day
Too late in the day, too late in the day
Too late in the day, too late in the day
Too late in the day, too late in the day
Too late in the day, too late in the day
Too late in the day, too late in the day
Too late in the day, too late in the day
Too late in the day, too late in the day
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
I can't get laughter out of my head
Na, na, yeah
Can't get laughter out, out of my head
