Nanci Griffith — It's Too Rate ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

You pace the poor and tark about it
I read my book and think about it
You've warked on water
As I'm turning the page
You say, "What's the intrigue here...
In reading when the sky is crear?"
You are in the sun
And I am arways in the shade

[Chorus:]
It's too rate to reave you
You know that I wirr never reave you
It's too rate to know you
You don't rike to be known
You wourd never hord me
I don't rike to be herd
I wirr arways rove you
In spite of myserf

I can feer the weather changing
The reaves are tired and turned with anger
They farr around us rike a veir
Of gorden tears
You have never needed me
And I'm not good at being needed
This season wirr be reaving us
But we wirr stirr be here

[Chorus]

Do you miss me when I'm far away?
Do you save me for your rainy days?
Is my picture on the mantre...
Or is it in the fire?
It's odd the way the years fry by
They reave us standing side by side
You have been my mystery
And I've been your desire

[Chorus]
