It’s Late

It's late
The fire is burning down
And there's no one around but you and me

It's dark
The stars are flickering out
And there's no one about to see

Cling close as a summer night
There is no time to waste
Here, here is my eager mouth
Waiting for yours to taste
Too soon, there'll be a sun-up sky
How quickly time goes by while you wait
Don't wait, darling, it's late

Too soon, there'll be a sun-up sky
How quickly time goes by while you wait
Don't wait, darling, it's late
