As Late As the Hour May Be - Jimmy Radcliffe

I've grown up in a broken city I've seen chain, but I don't want pity Maybe I'm too young to be demanding I have tried, and I have failed To bear the cross, piercing nails Forgive me please, oh please Be understanding 'Cause I'll not forget the love you gave But be that as it may Every night I pray For brighter stars, more golden days And to be taken far away Be that as it may I know it's wrong for me to stay I cannot bear these shades of grey So now I'm on my way Be that as it may I will not forget the love you gave

Be That As It May Oh, oh it's cold outside And the hardest part Is I Can't take away the chill in the night And I've been pining on and on How everything is wrong As if to throw away everything I own And the weather changed again But the city looks the same Though I can't find the sun From the chill in the air Be that as it may, I've fallen on better days Be that as it may, I've fallen on better days Nowhere is a place Somewhere hidden in the face Of every dream I've had that doesn't quite exist It doesn't pay to blink Cause it's later than you think You're whole life could change with or without me A promise is a lie With a prettier disguise Like I'll love you For the rest of my life Be that as it may, I've fallen on better days Be that as it may, I've fallen on better days Six o'clock in the morning and here I am Morning without warning once again So I'm playing it cool I'm playing it down cause it's easier on me All the way around And I don't wanna say goodbye But I'm tired of this and I I'm running out of time. I'd fly if only I could fly But I barely walk this time, I'm running out of time It feels like dying I feel like crying I'm Running out of time

I'm so afraid of saying something wrong There's a real danger in saying nothing at all That I'll go back to the rabbit and drink, yeah Half-cut, fired up, say what I think That you're funny, interesting, too That the air warms up when you walk in the room That I still dream about the night we met How I don't mean it now as I meant it then What could be as lonely as love? What could ever hurt this much? What if you're the only one? So let me in, let me in From out of the cold I'm okay, I'm doing fine -- the greatest lie ever told Even I don't recognize reflections of mine When I'm the next call down the emergency line, I'll say What could be as lonely as love? What could ever hurt this much? What if you're the only one? What could be as lonely as love? It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean What could be as lonely as love? What could ever hurt this much? What if you're the only one? (It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean) What could be as lonely as love? (It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean) Oh, it's a cruel tide, a violent ocean (What could be as lonely as love?) It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean (What could be as lonely as love?) It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean What could be as lonely as love? What could be as lonely as love?
