Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album leather jackets
Its so hard to say goodbye
When theres nothing left to give
When this house is just a hill of bones
Where you and I once lived
If we put it back together
By the skin of our teeth
Youd still pull it all apart
Bit by bit, piece by piece
And Ill go it alone
Call this house my home
Build it up again with someone new
Build it brick by brick
Till I find a girl that fits
This homes a whole lot better without you
Theres no passion alive
When you count your phony schemes
And the cars you drive to buy your friends
They dont ever come back clean
If the cards on the table
Always turn up spades
The cards that always cheat the hearts
The spades you play just dug my grave
