Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album the big picture
Pull my coat around me
Feel the cold wind haunt me
Streets are empty just like me
The murmur of an echo
Seems to come from every window
Is loneliness the same as being free
I guess I must have been dreaming
To think that I believed in you at all
Now I just cant fight it
As the shadow of the night begins to fall
Loves got a lot to answer for
Oh I just cant sleep with this feeling anymore
Let the cold night air cool the heat
Of two hearts gone to war
For no matter who wins, in the end
Loves got a lot to answer for
All I need is darkness
The best of all protection
Freedoms like the stars in the sky
Alone and cold and burning
Each one keeps its distance
If only we were stars, you and i
