This morning the mountain came crashing through my door
I take that as a sign you don’t love me anymore
Yesterday you told me so, but I would not believe
That you really meant to go, though packing up to leave
The sun shines on borrowed time
No brighter than the moon
I’ll take that as a sign
Too much, too late, too soon
Thunder out, cloud nine, I take it as a sign
You are now my used-to-be, no longer to be mine
Never mind the ties that bind, lower down the boom
Only comfort I can find sleeps four beds to the room
The sun shines on borrowed time
No brighter than the moon
I’ll take that as a sign
Too much, too late, too soon
I’d like to place a nickel bet that every single time
What you see is what you get, short change for a dime
That’s how the number crunches when you’re that kind of fool
Who bets his heart on hunches as an elementary rule
Lost my shirt in many games I never should have played
Some to my undying shame, the memories don’t fade
I never could take a hint, you gotta tell me straight
Beat me with the evidence, convince me of my fate
This afternoon the hillside came rolling down the lane
No place left for me to hide, hand me down my walking cane
Got one last subway token, I take it as a sign
That someone’s heart is broken, I hope it isn’t mine
The sun shines on borrowed time
No brighter than the moon
I’ll take that as a sign
Too much, too late, too soon
The sun shines on borrowed time
No brighter than the moon
I’ll take that as a sign
Too much, too late, too soon
Too much, too late, too soon
Too much, too late, too soon
