Rich Man Poor Man - Late Again

I need a bride, but the dolphins are runnin’ A woman who’d cry, but the sea must provide. A child to unravel the snarled nets of lovin’; First things first when you get to the sea. A rich man eats when he wishes; a poor man whenever he can. I need a home, but my […]

Reason To Believe - Late Again

If i listened long enough to you I’d find a way to believe that it’s all true. Knowing that you lied straight-faced while i cried. Still i look to find a reason to believe. Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else. Someone like you makes it easy to give, never think […]

I Shall Be Released - Late Again

They say everything can be replaced Yet every distance is not near. So i remember every face Of every man who put me here. Chorus: I see my light come shinin’ From the west unto the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say every man need protection They say […]

Tramp On The Street - Late Again

Jesus, he died on calvary’s tree Nails in his hands and nails in his feet. Mary, she rocked him, her little baby to sleep. But they left him to die like a tramp on the street. Only a poor man was laz’rus that day When he lay down at the rich man’s gate. He begged […]

Hymn - Late Again

Sunday morning, very bright, i read your book by colored light That came in through the pretty window picture. I visited some houses where they said that you were living And they talked a lot about you And they spoke about your giving. They passed a basket with some envelopes; I just had time to […]

She Dreams - Late Again

She dreams; no one can hear her. If she cries, who will be there to care? She needs someone to believe her when she lies When she pretends to share. She sees other people being what it is she ought to be. Other people fast pursuing what she can’t believe in ‘ ’til she’s free, […]

Love City (postcards To Duluth) - Late Again

Hey, margaret, i left you a note, did you get what i wrote? I laid it between your records. It said i’m changing my mind, and i’m leaving to find An answer for both of us. I think that it’s better that we be apart; I’ve got to find out what life is about. I’ll […]

There’s Anger In The Land - Late Again

There’s grievin’ in the country There’s sorrow in the sand. There’s sobbin’ in the shanty And there’s anger in the land. A woman broods in silence Close beside an open door; Flung on her flimsy doorstep Lies a corpse upon the floor. "you’ll not ask me why i’m silent" The woman said to me; Her […]

Too Much Of Nothing - Late Again

Too much of nothin’ can make a man feel ill at ease One man’s temper might rise, while the other man’s temper might freeze. In the days of long confessions, we can not mock a soul When there’s too much of nothin’, no one has control. (chorus) Say hello to valerie, say hello to marion, […]

Yesterday’s Tomorrow - Late Again

Your shadows are fading, folding into mine; Elusive my vision, sliding into time. And softly i wake ‘mid settling snow Disturbing the morning with something i know. Off in the distance, caring for me Who could it be this stranger? Watching and waiting in a wholly different way; Halting and helpless, what will be today? […]
