Too Late

let me become
the shadow of your name
the shadow of your hand
to go my own way
and leave you as a friend
and leave you as a friend
I’m ready to be
a fairy flying through the world
and see
what this life has to offer me
like a grub in its cocoon
ready to bloom and find out
what’s beyond this tree
I beg you please don’t follow me
please don’t follow me
you offered me a roof
in case of rain
offered me light during night
but this is what I have come to
realise
this is real life
I will leave you as a friend
let me become
the shadow of your name
the shadow of your hand
to go my own way
and leave you as a friend
and leave you as a friend
the shadow of your hand
to go my own way
and leave you as a friend
and leave you as a friend
able to throw away the day
that we met
and forget about our good times
and forget about our good wines
leave through the door
of your flat
no matter if it’s raining or wet
dry or hot
planned or not
I’m leaving babe,
I’m leaving
let me become
the shadow of your name
the shadow of your hand
to go my own way
and leave you as a friend
and leave you as a friend
