Cleopatra - The Lumineers

Written By：Wesley Schultz/Jeremy Fraites/Simone Felice

I was Cleopatra I was young and an actress

When you knelt by my mattress and asked for my hand

But I was sad you asked it as I laid in a black dress

With my father in a casket I had no plans

And I left the footprints the mud stained on the carpet

And it hardened like my heart did when you left town

But I must admit it that I would marry you in an instant

Damn your wife I'd be your mistress just to have you around

But I was late for this late for that

Late for the love of my life

And when I die alone when I die alone

When I die I'll be on time

While the church discouraged any lust that burned within me

Yes my flesh it was my currency but I held true

So I drive a taxi and the traffic distracts me

From the strangers in my backseat they remind me of you

But I was late for this late for that

Late for the love of my life

And when I die alone when I die alone

When I die I'll be on time

And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce

But I've read this script and the costume fits so I'll play my part

I was Cleopatra I was taller than the rafters

But that's all in the past now gone with the wind

Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom

It's a bed and a bathroom

A place for the end

I won't be late for this late for that

Late for the love of my life

And when I die alone when I die alone

When I die I'll be on time
