"Too Late The Key" lyrics - GARY LOURIS

I can hear echoes, though invisible
Across great spaces traveling far
My mind's eye sees the very first taste
My mind's ears hear a song sung in haste

Is it too soon, or better yet?
May you know no regret
Too confused and chaotic, it seems
Too far off, this elusive melody

[Chorus:]
The gate left open
Is there still hope inside of me?

A new distraction I employed
The very same one I should avoid
The same state, by a new light it burns
A magic potion lost, diminished in turns

[Chorus:]
The gate left open
Is there still hope inside of me?

Beyond the field, a neutral glow
Huddled houses, winding roads
Clean an empty space in front of me
Spread the map out so that I might see
A constant shadow hangs above my head
My clothes don't seem to fit, my feet are wet

[Chorus:]
The gate left open
Is there still hope inside of me?

[Outro:]
Too late the key for me
