A Day Late, a Dollar Short Songtext
von Hanoi Rocks

Late at night as I lay down to sleep
I think of all the secrets people keep
Like how I feel for you
Do you feel it too?
Or is it something we have to resume?

We′re just two people watching time fly by
In a world in it's obvious decline
But we are young and strong
We can carry on
Find a little Paradise of our own

′Cos no one saves the day
It's no one else's fault
If you′re a day late or a dollar short

Just think about how lovely life could be
Excluding all the man-made misery
If we′re too far behind
And really out of time
Is there another world they plan to find?


Too many dreams of youth
That we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short

We're all just lonely people
Only dying to fall in love

Feelings that we fought
Dreams we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short

All the loneliness, the blues
Feelings so distraught
When you′re a day late or a dollar short

Too many dreams of youth
That we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short

And no one saves the day
It's no one else′s fault
When you're a day late or a dollar short

A day late, a dollar short
A day late, a dollar short
A day late, a dollar short
