It's Too Late (in The Year 79) Lyrics - Hanoi Rocks

(Nanci Griffith) 

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 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 

Chorus 

Photos 

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
