Elton John - Sleeping With The Past Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinAvailable on the album sleeping with the pastLike a thief hes come, like a thief hes goneHes stolen your tears one by oneYoure proud to love him, its a foolish signYoure a broken heart at the scene of the crimeAnd the night drags on, and the fever burnsCome to your senses, everybody learnsYou sleep in sweet fire lost and blueYoure an empty doll in the power of a foolDont go sleeping with the pastDont go praying hell come backTake a deep breath and denyYou could love a man like thatDont go sleeping with the pastDont go waking with a dreamTheres no tenderness thats leftIn the cracks you step betweenIf it looks like rain, if it makes no soundIts an echo of pain on common groundLoves like a junkie, addictions a factPassions a monkey you cant keep off your backBut he takes love and he turns it coldHes just an iceman honey, aint got no heart of goldBut he sees you and he runs from youCome on and shake this shadow that youre clinging toAnd hell hurt youAnd hell run from youCome on and shake this shadow that youre clinging to
