Elton John - Cold Highway lyrics

Your life stepped lightly out our hands
When no one's looking out you understand
Your world was a wheel but
The cog ceased to turn
The bottom fell out and
Our fingers got burned

And there's a cold
Cold highway that the wind whistles down
Where the corners turn blind
Like the graveyard ground
Oh your black icy stare once
Cut down my friend
In the deepest dark winter when
The world seemed to end

Every new version of the way of life
Leaves you reckless and searching for
Stars in the night but whose kid are you
When they finally decide
The lifestyle you led and the
Way that you died and there's a cold
Cold highway that the wind whistles down
Where the corners turn blind
Like the graveyard ground
Oh your black icy stare once
Cut down my friend
In the deepest dark winter when
The world seemed to end

But they're oh so simple
They're still trying to tell
The difference for you between
Heaven and hell
To glorify something, your legends are found
But all they bought you was
A hole in the ground

Years rolling by just like a dream (ooh)
I'm partly human and I'm partly machine
They've lost you and fate put
Your name on a stone (ahh)
Perhaps now my friend they
Might leave you alone (ahh)

And there's a cold
Cold highway that the wind whistles down
Where the corners turn blind
Like the graveyard ground
Oh your black icy stare once
Cut down my friend
In the deepest dark winter when
The world seemed to end
