Love Lies Bleeding
Music by Elton John . lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" 1973
The roses in the window box have tilted to one side
Everything about this house was born to grow and die
Oh it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day
You said, sorry honey, if I don't change the pace
I can't face
(last = live version) another day
And love lies bleeding in my hand
It kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock n roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
I wonder if those changes have left a scar on you
Like all those burning hoops of fire you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on the telegraph line, I hope you're happy now
And if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow
And love lies bleeding in my hand
It kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock n roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
Writer(s): Elton John, Bernie Taupin
