Songtext It's too late Tanita Tikaram

It's too late

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)
