On That Note: Too Early, Too Late

[cyclones500]

To mark the first week of return to standard clock-time ’25, we explore songs with title/lyrics that include key words early and late (and extensions of those root words).

“On That Note” is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

• Last week’s OTN: Beach Baby

When the gales of November came early

 

[MeanDean]

the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

But I can't be late, 'cause then I guess I just won't get paid

Have to catch an early train, got to be to work by nine

 

[cyclones500]

“He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn.”

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light

 

[MeanDean]

What have I done to deserve such a fate?
I realize I have left it too late

 

[pourcyne]

 

[MeanDean]

I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial
Doing anything my radio advised

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

it's early morn

 

[MeanDean]

What's that, honey?
Pick you up at eight and don't be late

 

[pourcyne]

I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)

 

[cyclones500]

“You were born too late, I was born too soon” //
“You were born too soon, I was born too late.”

 

[MeanDean]

Marie's the name, of his latest flame

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I'm sorry, listen, I'm gonna be late tonight

I will be late, don't stay up and wait for me

 

[pourcyne]

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great?

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I'll get home early from work

 

[MeanDean]

But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care?

 

[cyclones500]

“‘Cause it’s too late …”

 

[pourcyne]

Something's got a hold of me lately
