Too late to cry

Sitting all alone with my whisky on ice,
I wonder why he´s not with me tonight.
If the rain be on tonight then I won´t sleep.
I´m haunted by this loneliness I keep.
And it´s too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there´s nothing left defied.
You won´t get more than you´re living for,
And it´s too late to cry tonight.
It doesn´t seem much point in us carrying on,
We pretend to cry but the feelings are gone.
I hear the death man has lost his mate,
The silence that follows him tells me about our fate.
And it´s too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there´s nothing left defied.
You won´t get more than you´re living for,
And it´s too late to cry tonight.
Empty glass before me tells the story in my eyes,
The dimness it has giving me won´t let me realize.
That love is more or less the state of mind we go through,
with no guarantee to what it holds me or you.
And it´s too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there´s nothing left defied.
You won´t get more than you´re living for,
And it´s too late to cry tonight.
I wonder why he´s not with me tonight.
If the rain be on tonight then I won´t sleep.
I´m haunted by this loneliness I keep.
And it´s too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there´s nothing left defied.
You won´t get more than you´re living for,
And it´s too late to cry tonight.
It doesn´t seem much point in us carrying on,
We pretend to cry but the feelings are gone.
I hear the death man has lost his mate,
The silence that follows him tells me about our fate.
And it´s too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there´s nothing left defied.
You won´t get more than you´re living for,
And it´s too late to cry tonight.
Empty glass before me tells the story in my eyes,
The dimness it has giving me won´t let me realize.
That love is more or less the state of mind we go through,
with no guarantee to what it holds me or you.
And it´s too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there´s nothing left defied.
You won´t get more than you´re living for,
And it´s too late to cry tonight.
