lyrics

Too Late For Tea

I was goovin' trippin' on a dream
A total fantasy I make believe
Feelin' funky on a sunny day
Waste my time?
I can't think of a better way

Then looking at you to tell me it's true
'Cause love comes to one in a few
Looking at me you don't really see
I guess I 'm too late for tea
I just woke up you could have saved me a cup
I'm sure you had more then enough
I was caught in a dream I don't know where I been
But I guess I'm too late for tea

My life is always on constant glide
I won't get uptight or have too much pride
I keep it rolling with a little ease
Waste my time?
Lover please

'Cause I'm looking at you to tell me it's true
'Cause love comes to one in a few
Looking at me you don't really see
I guess I 'm too late for tea
I just woke up you could have saved me a cup
I'm sure you had more then enough
I was caught in a dream I don't know where I been
But I guess I'm too late for tea

No point in loosing any sleep
I close my eyes embrace my dreams
I keep it rolling with a little ease
Waste my time?
Lover please

I'm looking at you to tell me it's true
'Cause love comes to one in a few
Looking at me you don't really see
I guess I 'm too late for tea
I just woke up you could have saved me a cup
I'm sure you had more then enough
I was caught in a dream I don't know where I been
But I guess I'm too late for tea
