Its Too Late — текст песни (tanita tikaram)

You pace the pool and talk about it

I read my book and think about it

Youve walked on water

As Im turning the page

You say, "whats the intrigue here...

In reading when the sky is clear? "

You are in the sun

And I am always in the shade



(chorus)

Its too late to leave you

You know that I will never leave you

Its too late to know you

You dont like to be known

You would never hold me

I dont like to be held

I will always love you

In spite of myself



I can feel the weather changing

The leaves are tired and turned with anger

They fall around us like a veil

Of golden tears

You have never needed me

And Im not good at being needed

This season will be leaving us

But we will still be here



(repeat chorus)

Do you miss me when Im far away?

Do you save me for your rainy days?

Is my picture on the mantle...

Or is it in the fire?

Its odd the way the years fly by

They leave us standing side by side

You have been my mystery

And Ive been your desire



(repeat chorus)
