Geraldine Too Late Lyrics

When we first met you were slim, young and beautiful

You had the most amazing long black hair

You stood out from the others in our workplace

I hoped that you and I could be a pair

We spent time together and I found out

You played no games, you treated people straight

You said you had a boyfriend and were faithful

I had arrived upon the scene too late

Geraldine too late

Did you think to none of us you mattered?

That no-one's words could heal you any more?

At work denied a place at home a slave to care

You slipped without a trace into the London air

No changing what occurred no chance to intervene

All my paramedic words

Are too late Geraldine

Geraldine too late

Too late Geraldine

Geraldine too late

Years went by and then one day I saw you

In the street you hurried right on by

I saw no trace of any recognition

But I saw the panic in your eye

I wanted so to call to you in greeting

To stop and learn how you were getting on

But your name escaped me for a moment

Too late it came to mind and you were gone

You were gone

Well, did you think to none of us you mattered?

That no-one's words could save you any more?

At work denied a place at home a slave to care

You slipped without a trace into the London air

No changing what occurred no chance to intervene

All my paramedic words

Are too late Geraldine

Geraldine too late

Too late Geraldine

Geraldine too late

Too late I searched the web for news

And found to my dismay

The local paper piece on how you'd

Thrown your life away

At work denied a place at home a slave to care

You slipped without a trace into the London air

No changing what occurred no chance to intervene

All my paramedic words

Are too late Geraldine

Geraldine too late

Too late Geraldine

Geraldine too late

Too late Geraldine

Geraldine, Geraldine

Too late Geraldine

Geraldine too late

Oh oh oh

Geraldine, Geraldine

Oh oh oh

Geraldine too late

To some of us you mattered

Some of us, some of us

There were some of us who cared

Geraldine, Geraldine

But all and any words

Are too late Geraldine

Are too late Geraldine

Geraldine too late
