Lyrics

[Verse 1] This morning the mountain came crashing through my door I take that as a sign you don't love me anymore Yesterday you told me so, but I would not believe That you really meant to go, though packing up to leave [Chorus] The sun shines on borrowed time No brighter than the moon I'll take that as a sign Too much, too late, too soon [Verse 2] Thunder out, cloud nine, I take it as a sign You are now my used-to-be, no longer to be mine Never mind the ties that bind, lower down the boom Only comfort I can find sleeps four beds to the room [Chorus] The sun shines on borrowed time No brighter than the moon I'll take that as a sign Too much, too late, too soon [Verse 3] I'd like to place a nickel bet that every single time What you see is what you get, short change for a dime That's how the number crunches when you're that kind of fool Who bets his heart on hunches as an elementary rule [Verse 4] Lost my shirt in many games I never should have played Some to my undying shame, the memories don't fade I never could take a hint, you gotta tell me straight Beat me with the evidence, convince me of my fate [Verse 5] This afternoon the hillside came rolling down the lane No place left for me to hide, hand me down my walking cane Got one last subway token, I take it as a sign That someone's heart is broken, I hope it isn't mine [Chorus] The sun shines on borrowed time No brighter than the moon I'll take that as a sign Too much, too late, too soon [Chorus] The sun shines on borrowed time No brighter than the moon I'll take that as a sign Too much, too late, too soon Too much, too late, too soon Too much, too late, too soon
