"I wrote this when I was foolish, young, and full of daring decisions. This song was one of those crazy adventures that bloomed into something really beautiful at the time, but like a rose it was cut right at the peak. This song's meaning has changed over the years and now it's just one of my favorites to sing. I hope whoever's listening enjoys it, and if you can relate, I'm happy you've had such an adventure."
lyrics
Oh, I can't get this smile off my face
My melancholy grin and the grace of your face
Sweet lover you're built by design
Your silver will show, but you'll never grow old in my mind
Never too soon, never too soon, never too soon.
But I'm plagued by the thoughts left behind,
And my bones crave the road you reside.
From Brooklyn you're bound,
And I'm the port-side of town
If only our mountains were men
Holding hands over seas
I do enjoy your company
But I'm too attached, oh will you pardon me
It was too soon, it was too soon, it was too soon
But I'm plagued by the thoughts left behind,
And my bones crave the road you reside.
Oh how can it be? You made love to me.
And you barely spent more than a week next to me.
These mountains are cursed, oh god it's the worst
When our birds were cut by the wings...
Too soon, it was too soon, it was too soon, it was too soon
it was too soon, it was too soon, it was too soon, it was too soon.
