Cleopatra (acoustic)
I was Cleopatra I was young and an actress and you knelt by my matress and asked for my hand And I was sad you asked it as I laid in a black dress with my father in a casket I had no plans (yea)
And I left the footprints The mud stained on the carpet and it hardened like my heart did when you left town But I must admit it that I would marry you in an instant Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
But I was late for this Late for that Late for the love of my life When I die alone When I die alone When I die I'll be on time (aye)
And the Church discouraged any lust that burned within me Yes my flesh it was my currency but I held out
When a man's dejected well he can fight for your affections or he can act like he never met you and even go to the ground
But I was late for this Late for that Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Late for the love of my life And when I die alone When I die alone When I die I'll be on time (yea)
So I drive a taxi and the traffic distracts me from the strangers in my backseat They remind me of you But it's all a daydream when it's you who's behind me but you never recognize me appraising you And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce but I've read this script and the costume fits so I play my part
And there are nights I wake up to the sound of a door shut and I search on the floor but I find no tracks And the nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom it's a bed and a bathroom and a place to relax
but I was late for this late for that late for the love of my life When I die alone When I die alone When I die I'll be on time (aye)
