Late Bloomer Lyrics & Tabs by Ron Sexsmith
Late Bloomer
guitar chords lyrics
It's just a stone's throw
From here to eternity
From the back roads
To where I long to be
The world has changed
Leaving only the truth intact
You think it’s a game
To me it means more than that
But I'm a late bloomer
I'm a slow learner
And I've turned the record over
I'm a long player
My song is my saviour
I've got to raise it up
As far as my spirit can reach
My song is my saviour
I've got to raise it up
As far as my spirit can reach
That everyone might see
Within earshot
Of rose-coloured dreamers at best
I don't mean to eavesdrop
It's just part of my job I guess
At one glance
They don't know the truth by half
How announcing your plans
Is a sure way to hear god laugh
Like a crab apple on the tree
They'll find life more bitter than sweet
But I'm a late bloomer
I'm a slow learner
And I've heard the penny drop
I'm a small player
With a tall order
To come out on top
And without selling my soul
That everyone might know
That I'm a late bloomer
From a turntable to a phone
From a revolution to a ring tone
I'm a late bloomer
I'm a slow learner
And I've turned the record over
I'm a long player
My song is my saviour
Got to raise it up
I’m a late bloomer
I’m a slow learner
And I’ve heard the penny drop
I’m a small player
With a tall order
To come out on top
And without selling my soul
That’s how a flower grows
And I'm a late bloomer
I'm a late bloomer
I'm a late bloomer
