Song title: Elton John - Sleeping With The Past

Edit By: 216.73.216.33

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album sleeping with the past

Like a thief hes come, like a thief hes gone
Hes stolen your tears one by one
Youre proud to love him, its a foolish sign
Youre a broken heart at the scene of the crime

And the night drags on, and the fever burns
Come to your senses, everybody learns
You sleep in sweet fire lost and blue
Youre an empty doll in the power of a fool

Dont go sleeping with the past
Dont go praying hell come back
Take a deep breath and deny
You could love a man like that

Dont go sleeping with the past
Dont go waking with a dream
Theres no tenderness thats left
In the cracks you step between

If it looks like rain, if it makes no sound
Its an echo of pain on common ground
Loves like a junkie, addictions a fact
Passions a monkey you cant keep off your back

But he takes love and he turns it cold
Hes just an iceman honey, aint got no heart of gold
But he sees you and he runs from you
Come on and shake this shadow that youre clinging to
And hell hurt you
And hell run from you
Come on and shake this shadow that youre clinging to
