It`s Too Late — текст песни (tanita tikaram)

You pace the pool and talk about it
I read my book and think about it
You`ve walked on water
as I`m turning the page
You say, "What`s the intrigue here...
in reading when the sky is clear?"
You are in the sun
and I am always in the shade

(chorus)
It`s too late to leave you
you know that I will never leave you
It`s too late to know you
you don`t like to be known
You would never hold me
I don`t 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 I`m not good at being needed
This season will be leaving us
but we will still be here

(repeat chorus)
Do you miss me when I`m far away?
Do you save me for your rainy days?
Is my picture on the mantle...
or is it in the fire?
It`s odd the way the years fly by
They leave us standing side by side
You have been my mystery
And I`ve been your desire

(repeat chorus)
