Love Lies Bleeding
 
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Taupin
   
 
The roses in the window box have tilted to one side
Everything about this house was born to grow and die
It doesn't seem a year ago to this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace I can't face another day

  Chorus
And love lies bleeding in my hands
It kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and 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 the burning hoops of fire that you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow

  Chorus

  Chorus

Love lies bleeding in my hands
