Sleeping With The Past-Elton John Bernie Taupin Video (MV)






John Elton - Sleeping With The Past-Elton John Bernie Taupin Lyrics




Like a thief he's come

Like a thief he's gone

He's stolen your tears one by one

You're proud to love him

It's a foolish sign

You're 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

You're an empty doll

In the power of a fool



Don't go sleeping with the past

Don't go praying he'll come back

Take a deep breath and deny

You could love a man like that



Don't go sleeping with the past

Don't go waking with a dream

There's no tenderness that's left

In the cracks you step between



If it looks like rain

If it makes no sound

It's an echo of pain on common ground

Love's like a junkie

Addiction's a fact

Passion's a monkey

You can't keep off your back



But he takes love

And he turns it cold

He's just an iceman honey

Ain't got no heart of gold

But he sees you and he runs from you

Come on and shake this shadow

That you're clinging to

And he'll hurt you

And he'll run from you

Come on and shake this shadow

That you're clinging to
