Eleventh Hour

Eleventh Hour

A Chapter by Carrie Manor

Don’t keep talkin’ like you know,

I can’t hear you now,

act like you know me.

You think you can tell me,

but I'm:


Comin’ home at the eleventh hour.

I was chasing glamour and honor

life’s getting in the way,

everything is escaping from me.

I comin’ home now, it’s the eleventh hour.


The sun is blinding me,

why did I wait til’ the eleventh hour?

 always rehashing what I thought was good dead,

but there’s someone waiting for me.

Commin’ home now, at the eleventh hour. 


Maybe he’ll be asleep,

maybe he won’t know me.

I’m afraid, I’ll be all alone.

What does it matter to me?

‘Cause, I’ve only ever left him all alone. 


Comin’ home at the eleventh hour.

I was chasing glamour and honor

life’s getting in the way,

everything is escaping from me.

I comin’ home now, it’s the eleventh hour.


Headlights are flashing,

maybe he’s waiting.

How can you love someone,

if you only left them alone?

I gotta finish it off, and:



Pick it up, pick it up,

pick it up just like I wanted to,

comin’ home at the eleventh hour.


Comin’ home at the eleventh hour.

I was chasing glamour and honor

life’s getting in the way,

everything I ever loved is escaping from me.

I comin’ home now, it’s the eleventh hour.


If he doesn’t remember,

if he doesn’t know.


Were just souls, turning into dust.

All that will be left, is memories, but even then they

set away with the sun...

Why did I wait, why do I care?

What does it mean, can’t I just run?

Can’t I just hide? Hold my breath hope I will die.

Why did I hide why did I wait?


God, it’s the eleventh hour!
