2 Late Lyrics by The Cure

Join the Dots: B-Sides & Rarities (Disc 2: 1987-1992)

1989

[Verse 1]
So I'll wait for you where I always wait
Behind the signs that sell the news
I'll watch for you like yesterday
And hope for you one day
That once spent out on me and up 'til late
I search for you, your hat pushed straight
Away from me, your measured step
Heads up you win, always too late

[Verse 2]
Oh, if I could just once catch your eye
Invisible against the words
That hold you down in solitude
And never let you go
The way that every time my eyes just close
Like lids of wooden men in file
I put you under rainy day
Your hat's all off and I'm gone away

[Verse 1]
So I'll wait for you where I always wait
Behind the signs that sell the news
I'll watch for you like yesterday
And hope for you one day
That once spent out on me and up 'til late
I search for you, your hat pushed straight
Away from me, your measured step
Heads up you win, always too late
