Somewhere in the distance
I hear the bells ring
Darkness settles on the town
as the children start to sing

And the lady across the street,
she shuts out the night
A cast of thousands waiting
as she turns out the light

[chorus]
But its too late, too late, too late
too late for love
Too late, too late, too late
too late....

London boys are staring as the
girls go hand in hand
Pockets full of innocence,
the entrance is grand
The Queen of the dream
stands before them all
She stretches out her hand
as the curtain starts to fall

[chorus]

Standing by the trap door
aware of me and you
The actor and the clown
They're waiting for their queue
And there's a lady over there,
she's acting pretty cool
But when it comes to playing life,
she always plays the fool

[chorus]
