Late Bloomer lyrics:

Oh late bloomer, the rumors were true
You know I checked your ID when you left the room
I didn't want to see it coming, I showed off my heart
Now there's a scar in the shape of a question mark

Oh late bloomer, the rumors were true
Scattered leaves are all that's left of you
I never thought I'd be the marrying kind
It was nothing to be always left behind

From the ship that would sail with everyone on it
I said, "Give me the land
I know what I want and where I'm wanted"
But you came in whistling, "I'll go if you'll go"
And I was waiting around to play like an old piano

And honey, I couldn't see the trouble
Sleeping down deep where these lights won't go
I couldn't see the trouble underneath
I set my sights on what was alright
My will didn't know, where these lights won't go
I couldn't see the trouble underneath

Who knew it would be you through the wall
Listening in to a voice on a call
And hearing the strings and a shoot 'em up show
Little did I know then what little did I know
Long before listening forever
Was shot down before it was ever delivered

And honey I couldn't see the trouble
Sleeping down deep where these lights won't go
I couldn't see the trouble underneath
I set my sights on what was alright
My will didn't know, where these lights won't go
I couldn't see the trouble

Oh late bloomer, the rumors were true
I checked your ID, what was it I knew?
I didn't want to see it coming, I showed off my heart
Now there's a scar in the shape of a question mark
Oh late bloomer the rumors were true
Scattered leaves are all that's left of you

And honey I couldn't see the trouble
Sleeping down deep where these lights won't go
I couldn't see the trouble underneath
I set my sights on what was alright
My will didn't know, where these lights won't go
I couldn't see the trouble
Oh late bloomer, the rumors were true

Sarah Harmer official bio:

Are You Gone – the first album in a decade from Sarah Harmer – is a deeply personal and momentous collection of songs motivated by life’s beauty, love’s mysteries and the climate crisis. Two decades since her heralded debut “You Were Here”, Sarah returns with a deepened, electric exploration of nature and human nature.

Are You Gone is about stepping away – quieting one’s own voice for a matter of time, and using that force in different ways. Like generations of poets before her, Harmer gleaned the magic of the place while visiting a writer-in-residence there in summer 2019. “I decided on the album title while staying for a night,” Harmer recalls, “thinking about time and time capsules, and our need for isolation but also for community,”

The result of an unshakeable inclination to make music alongside a lifestyle more attuned to privacy and local activism, Sarah wrote Are You Gone gradually over the last decade as she traded music for grassroots organizing. Between co-founding the citizen’s organization PERL (Protecting Escarpment Rural Land) and leading the coalition’s successful efforts to stop a massive quarry on the Niagara Escarpment, she became a fixture in local politics and advocacy.
