Lyrics

0:08It's just a stone's throw from here to eternity
0:17From the back road to where I long to be
0:26The world has changed leaving only the truth intact
0:35You think it's a game to me it means more than that
0:44But I'm a late bloomer I'm a slow learner
0:49And I've turned the record over
0:53I'm a long player my song is my savior
0:58I've got to raise it up as far as my spirit can reach
1:04That everyone might see
1:13Within earshot of rose colored dreamers at best
1:22I don't mean to eavesdrop it's just part of my job I guess
1:31At one glance they don't know the truth by half
1:39How announcing your plans is a sure way to hear God laugh
1:49Like a crab apple on the tree
1:53They'll find life more bitter than sweet
1:58I'm a late bloomer I'm a slow learner
2:03And I've heard the penny drop
2:07I'm a small player with a tall order to come out on top
2:15And without selling my soul
2:18That everyone might know that I'm a late bloomer
2:46From a turntable to a phone
2:50From a revolution to a ring tone
3:04I'm a late bloomer I'm a slow learner
3:08And I've turned the record over
3:12I'm a long player my song is my savior
3:17Got to raise it up
3:21I'm a late bloomer I'm a slow learner
3:26And I've heard the penny drop
3:30I'm a small player with a tall order to come out on top
3:37And without selling my soul that's how a flower grows
3:45And I'm a late bloomer
3:49I'm a late bloomer
3:54I'm a late bloomer
It's just a stone's throw from here to eternity
From the back road to where I long to be
The world has changed leaving only the truth intact
You think it's a game to me  it means more than that
But I'm a late bloomer  I'm a slow learner
And I've turned the record over
I'm a long player  my song is my savior
I've got to raise it up as far as my spirit can reach
That everyone might see
Within earshot of rose colored dreamers at best
I don't mean to eavesdrop  it's just part of my job I guess
At one glance they don't know the truth by half
How announcing your plans is a sure way to hear God laugh
Like a crab apple on the tree
They'll find life more bitter than sweet
I'm a late bloomer  I'm a slow learner
And I've heard the penny drop
I'm a small player with a tall order to come out on top
And without selling my soul
That everyone might know that I'm a late bloomer
From a turntable to a phone
From a revolution to a ring tone
I'm a late bloomer  I'm a slow learner
And I've turned the record over
I'm a long player  my song is my savior
Got to raise it up
I'm a late bloomer  I'm a slow learner
And I've heard the penny drop
I'm a small player with a tall order to come out on top
And without selling my soul  that's how a flower grows
And I'm a late bloomer
I'm a late bloomer
I'm a late bloomer
