"Soon Enough"


I was a Junior in High School when I wrote this. I don't remember what inspired me. This turned into a "Black Annie" song later. Any ideas?
February 19, 1991


Soon enough it will be too late to grow old,
too late to be afraid, too late to die.
Soon enough it will be too late to grow old,
yes, too late to be aged again.

Soon enough it will be too late to hear music,
too late for the melody, too late for peace.
Soon enough it will be too late to hear music,
yes, too late to be the song again.

Soon enough it will be too late to love you,
too late for the sweetness, too late for calm.
Soon enough it will be too late to love you,
yes, too late to be complete again.

Soon enough, yes, soon enough my friend,
we will be too less, too little,
too big, too small, too anything at all,
soon enough.
