Jewel - Afraid It's Too Late

Lyrics :
She sat at the window
All dressed in white
It's been a long time since she's cried
Tears called ....and tumbling down
She remembers her childhood brown
She's afraid it's too late

She steps out on the porch
Takes a minute from her day
Just like when she was a child
To listen what the wind would say
She was carefree like the children are today
Say, Mommy, mommy loves you, come out and play
She's afraid it's too late

When she was a child
She had crowns hiding gold
And with such awe, each flower she did hold
And she, she got out and felt ... as the grass beneath her feet
How she hated things that were already late

They took away her laughter
They took away her crown
They said "hey girl, you gotta keep your feet on the ground"
She said "oh, but they are"
They say "Well laughter won't pay your bills"
A flower fell from her hand, it's falling still
They taught her to be respectable
Responsible somehow
They taught her to be in every moment ... here and now
She forgot how it felt to have leaves of grass beneath her feet
Now every thought screams to return to her childhood royalty
But she's afraid it's too late

She takes one last moment
Before going inside
She takes a coat
To dry her eye
She stood silent and it all becomes clear
It's probably laughter that gets you what you need
Much more than here
She's afraid it's too late
