It's Too Late

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)
