Don't Be Late (Chapter 2) - Saga

Look at him running there’s so far to go,

He’s very short of breath

And he’d said don’t be late

Just don’t be late

With his parcel tucked tight under his arm

He’s sure he’s passed half way

And he’d said don’t be late

Just don’t be late.

DID YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU’RE TOLD

THE INSTRUCTION YOU HAD WAS OLD

I wasn’t sure if I’d hear you

I’m glad you’re still alright

IT’S ALL BEEN ARRANGED FOR TEN

THE STREETS SHOULD BE CLEAR BY THEN

I’ve done all that you told me

I’m sure that they will wait

THEIR TIMING WAS MADE QUITE CLEAR

IF WE’RE LATE THEY WILL NOT APPEAR

They don’t know, they don’t know

They don’t know how far we’ve had to go

CAN YOU PICK UP THIS SLOWING PACE

YOU’RE RUNNING A LOSING RACE

No! Soon we’ll see them

Then you’ll know

That I have not delayed, he said

Chorus

Hurry and don’t be late

You’d better hurry you might be late

Just hurry and don’t be late

You’d better hurry you may be late

IF WE’RE LATE I WILL NOT SURVIVE

THEY WILL KEEP ME ALIVE

It’s not too far now

And I can only wish you luck friend

I’M SORRY I GO ALONE

THIS METAL IS A COLD HOME

I can see they’re waiting

A few more steps and you’ll be there, he said

Chorus

Just hurry and don’t be late

You’d better hurry you may be late
