about

The funky “Too Late” brings in a gritty cool 1970s Fender Rhodes and the guitar working the wah pedal. The melody goes from a whisper to a shout of pain and loss, but the story twists around while the band jams out like Medeski, Martin and Wood.

lyrics

You understood better than anyone else
You knew me better than I knew myself
Grateful I had you to hold on to
A warm fire to come home to

I never knew what
Could go wrong because
I was weak and
Love was strong, but I
Guess I guess I failed you
In some way, Or I
Wouldn't be crying
Still today, but it's

Too Late
It's too late for me now
I let you get away somehow
Oh…
It's too late

When I saw that you'd moved on
Like a loving Amazon
It hit me like a punch that reversed me
Nothin but a whiskey bottle could have nursed me

But now you're gone, and I've
Gone ahead, And I
Just can get myself
Out of bed, But
After all is
Said and done, I
Still believe that
You're the one, but it's

Too Late
It's too late for me now
I let you get away somehow
Oh…
It's too late

You said "can't we be friends?"
I knew just what you meant
You wanna get back with me
To feel good about yourself again

I really really wanted to
But a voice inside said "Don't do it."
I just wanted to hide in your boudoir
I couldn't lower myself so far

So now it's you who is
Out of time, and
You can go on and
Lose your mind, 'cause
Since that pain you
Laid on me, if
I learned nothing, it's
Tragedy, cause it's

Too Late
It's too late for me now
I let you get away somehow
Oh…
It's too late

David Thorne Scott Boston, Massachusetts

“At a time of great conflict in our country – when words often fail us – music has the power to bridge divides. With his latest album Thornewood, released earlier this month, David Thorne Scott explores the intersection of Jazz and Americana, city and country, instrumentation and lyrics to create lush compositions and covers that are unifying, and healing, in their beauty.” - Laurie Fanelli ... more
