lyrics

She woke up in the dark. He was out of reach
She stepped into her Merrells headed for the beach
To watch a piping plover running with her mate
She got an early start now she's running late

She looks beyond her scope and where's she's never been
And thinks about the time she'll never see again
One mile out a freighter strains to pull her weight
She got an early start now she's running late

If she were still a girl she might have learned to swim
And live among the dolphins leaping on a whim
Now who else could she be or even imitate
She got an early start now she's running late

She floundered her way through thinking she was right
But looking at it now all she did was fight
When someone takes her childhood , can she compensate?
Forced to an early start now always running late

She came back with some driftwood, stood it t the door
She thought she brushed the sand off, now she's finding more
She won't have time for breakfast moving at this rate
She got an early start now she's running late

She showered away the fog and the salted air
Dressed in something new, finding her own flair
There's no more time to linger or to contemplate
She got an early start now she's running late
