Born Too Late Songtext

von The Clarks

Vincent will you teach me how paint
Theresa will I ever be a saint
((John Lennon|John)) I really think your songs are great
I was born too late

William will you teach me how to write
Cassius will you show me how to fight
Thomas A. I think I see the light
I was born tonight

I've had a hard time leaving this town
I've been losing everything that I've found
I'm gonna search the sky
Kiss the ground
Build it up and tear it back down

I've had a hard time leaving this place
I've been counting all the lines on my face
I'm gonna curse the sky
Hit the ground
What goes up comes tumbling down

((Jimi Hendrix|Jimi)) show me how you play that thing
((Elvis Presley)) will I ever be a king
Jerry all the joy and love you bring
I was born to sing

Martin Luther King show me the way
Jesus Buddha teach me how to pray
Christopher I think I see the bay
((Scott Blasey|I)) was born today
