Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album leather jackets
Without you I no longer swim upstream
Where are you when I try to fill the spaces in between
The red letter days and all the pain
And while I remain shipwrecked everything has changed
And I fall apart
With this threat of indecision
Hanging in my heart
This house can get so lonely
When the day grows dark
And it seems to be the night time
When I fall apart
Cant you tell the shadows no longer comfort me
I dont feel the need to cling to anyone I see
This fools suffered gladly each and every day
I dont wish to reconsider, I wish theyd stay away
Ive no care to count the stares that pity me
Ill wash your hurt away just you wait and see
For every rose you give her Ill give her three
But in the meantime Ill just wish that she was me
