《Too Late For Prayin’》歌词

[00:00:00] Too Late For Prayin' - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:03] It was only yesterday

[00:00:06] When I heard the teacher say

[00:00:11] Patiently one and two make three

[00:00:15] We were children you and me

[00:00:20] Let us pray for the ones they call

[00:00:25] The children of today

[00:00:33] Nothin' left but promises

[00:00:37] Nothin' much is certain

[00:00:42] All we see is want and need across the board

[00:00:48] Why thank you lord

[00:00:50] We're livin' in the glory of your care

[00:01:00] Skies of blue have all turned brown

[00:01:05] To the sound of sighin'

[00:01:09] Lord abide let us stem the tide

[00:01:15] Of broken dreams

[00:01:17] Sometimes you seem to tell us

[00:01:21] It's too late for prayin'

[00:01:31] See the ocean wild and blue

[00:01:35] Think of all that's in her

[00:01:40] She will not surrender to the likes of us

[00:01:46] But then she must

[00:01:48] They tell us wise men tell us it's too late

[00:01:58] For each child with eyes that smile

[00:02:03] There'll be ten more cryin'

[00:02:07] Lord abide let us stem the time

[00:02:12] Of helplessness

[00:02:15] But then I guess we're livin'

[00:02:19] Is it too late for tryin'

[00:02:43] Nothin' here but grains of sand

[00:02:47] Nothin' much worth savin'

[00:02:51] Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear

[00:02:58] And still we share

[00:03:00] Tomorrow could get better than today

[00:03:10] To the ones who've loved in vain

[00:03:15] Will ya be beholden

[00:03:19] Lord abide let us stem the tide

[00:03:24] Of broken dreams

[00:03:26] Sometimes ya seem to tell us

[00:03:31] It's too late for prayin'
