Too Soon to Tell

Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head I'm walkin' up a hill to get my fortune read And I can still take rejection but it's getting harder to do I wish I could show you how you've hurt me In a way that wouldn't hurt you too Tennis shoes are hangin' from a telephone wire I've got a little money, I could get a little higher I was alright for awhile but you know how it goes Everything in moderation, including moderation I suppose I never did like the people where I was employed They were all out to get me 'cause I'm paranoid Now I'm workin' for myself and that don't pay a lousy dime If what we're here to do is learn to forgive I'm gonna need more time Too soon to tell It's too soon to tell Too soon to tell by and by Oh, it's too soon to tell What's goin' to happen to you when you die It's too soon to tell what we will ever avenge They say that living well is the best revenge I say, "Bullshit, the best revenge is revenge" This isn't over, Lord, we're gonna meet again And I say, Lord, if you're up there, you have sure got some nerve Seems like even the wicked we get worse than they deserve We're afraid to die, every goddamn one of us I swear to God it's like you're makin' fun of us Not worth keepin', or too good to keep You got a better secret, keep it from me And if you're so God Almighty Well, then what's with all the mystery? Well, I would love to trust you, buddy But you're clearly keeping secrets from me Too soon to tell Too soon to tell It's too soon to tell by and by Lord, it's too soon to tell, but Oh, what happen to you, you when you die At the fortune teller's, on the second floor In bright red letters hangin' off of the door It said, "Closed," I think it might've been signed Don't give up on me, baby I think I could be losin' my mind I've just met too many people and I love them all too much They're scattered all over this whole country I could never possibly stay in touch with all of 'em I'm travellin' Almost forever it seems You too will wake up one morning And you will have a lot more memories than dreams Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head I'm walkin' down the sill without my fortune read I can still take rejection but it's gettin' harder to do Wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way That wouldn't hurt you too I wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way That wouldn't hurt you too
