Todd Snider - Too Soon To Tell Lyrics
Low, grey clouds rollin' over my headI'm walkin' up a hill to get my fortune readI can still take rejection but it does get harder to doI wish I could show you how you've hurt meIn a way that wouldn't hurt you tooTennis shoes hangin' from a telephone wireI've got a little money; I could get a little higherI was alright awhile, but you know how it goesEverything in moderation, including moderation I supposeI never did like the people where I was employedThey was always out to get me 'cause I'm paranoidNow I'm workin' for myselfAnd that don't pay a lousy dimeIf what we're here to do is learn to forgetI'm gonna need more timeIt's too soon to tell, too soon to tellIt's too soon to tell, too soon to tellIt's too soon to tell, too soon to tellBy and byIt's too soon to tell what's gonna happen to you when you dieIt's too soon to tell what we'll ever avengeThey say that living well is the best revengeI say bullshit, the best revenge is to winThis isn't over, we're going to meet againAnd good Lord if you're up there, you sure got some nerveSeems like even the wicked get worse than they deserveWe're afraid to die every goddamn one of usI swear to God it's like you're makin' fun of usNot worth keepin, or too good to keepYou got a better kinda secret, better wait til I'm asleepAnd if you're so God almighty then what's with all this mystery?Yes I wanna trust ya buddy, but you're clearly keeping secrets from meIt's too soon to tell, too soon to tellIt's too soon to tell, too soon to tellIt's too soon to tell, too soon to tellBy and byIt's too soon to tell what's gonna happen to us when we dieAt the fortune teller's on the second floorIn bright red letters hangin' off of the doorIt said "closed", I think it might've been some kinda signDon't give up on me baby; I think I could be losin' my mindI've just met too many people that I love too muchThey're scattered all over; I could never stay in touchWith travellin', almost forever it seemsYou too will wake up one morning with a lot more memories than dreamsLow, grey clouds rollin' over my headI'm walkin' down the hill without my fortune readI can still take rejection but it does get harder to doI wish I could show you how you'd hurt meIn a way that wouldn't hurt you tooI wish I could show you how you'd hurt meIn a way that wouldn't hurt you too
