Tanita Tikaram - It’s Too Late Lyrics

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) Tanita Tikaram Lyrics It’s Too Late Lyrics
