From the recording Too Late To Turn Back Now

Lyrics

we arrived five minutes ago
didn’t want to be late for the show,
before you knew it we had to go
we arrived five minutes ago,
we came to see all there was to see
a little disappointed it wasn’t free,
everybody telling you who to be
we came to see all there was to see

and the stars were bright
in the Memphis night last summer,
but they lost their flame
in the Portland rain
and I’ll never cease to wonder,
how it seems so
five minutes ago

we strolled on down the avenue
quite a chore deciding what to do,
they’re tearing down the old to build the new
we strolled on down the avenue,
they got shiny things for sale up in the stores
a stubborn line of faithful wanting more,
not a penny to be found upon the floor
shiny things for sale up in the stores

and the moon was full
and I felt her pull last summer,
but the clouds settled in
and I don’t know when
I’ll ever cease to wonder,
how it seems so
five minutes ago

and the stars were bright
in the Memphis night last summer,
but they lost their flame
in the Portland rain
and I’ll never cease to wonder,
how it seems so
five minutes ago
