Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
|
Available on the album Too Low For Zero
|
|
Don't wish it away
|
Don't look at it like it's forever
|
Between you and me I could honestly say
|
That things can only get better
|
|
And while I'm away
|
Dust out the demons inside
|
And it won't be long before you and me run
|
To the place in our hearts where we hide
|
|
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
|
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
|
Laughing like children, living like lovers
|
Rolling like thunder under the covers
|
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
|
|
Just stare into space
|
Picture my face in your hands
|
Live for each second without hesitation
|
And never forget I'm your man
|
|
Wait on me girl
|
Cry in the night if it helps
|
But more than ever I simply love you
|
More than I love life itself
|
|
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
|
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
|
Laughing like children, living like lovers
|
Rolling like thunder under the covers
|
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
|
|
Wait on me girl
|
Cry in the night if it helps
|
But more than ever I simply love you
|
More than I love life itself
|
|
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
|
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
|
Laughing like children, living like lovers
|
Rolling like thunder under the covers
|
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
|
|
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
|
|
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
|
|
