Lyrics

Late For Work

The radio says that it’s time to rise
Says we both have things to do
But we tell ourselves in each other’s arms
That we’ll lie here a moment or two
Perhaps we should kiss just once or twice
Is there time for a gentle caress
Then I look at you, and you look at me
And we both know what happens next

We’re gonna be late for work
We’re gonna be careless with time
I see that smile, see that look in your eye
Let the morning wait impatient by the window

So off you go, put your feet on the floor
We simply must start our day
Let the shower warm, I will break my fast
Bring you coffee if I may
In a happy glow, I come to you
With a cup of morning zest
Some soft words pass and I tarry there
Even though we try our best

Chorus

This is just crazy
Why can’t we let go
The bills must be paid
And the bank doesn’t care if I love you so

The radio says that it’s time to rise
Says we both have things to do
But we tell ourselves in each other’s arms
That we’ll lie here a moment or two
Perhaps we should kiss just once or twice
Is there time for a gentle caress
Then I look at you, and you look at me
And we both know what happens next

Chorus
