Duet with Eric Clapton Music by Elton John and Olle Romeo Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
There´s a hungry road I can only hope´s
Gonna eat me up inside There´s a drifting spirit coming clean In the eye of a lifelong fire Tell Monday I´ll be around next week I´m running ahead of my days In the shotgun chance that scattered us I´ve seen the error of my ways
Well we´ve wrapped ourselves in golden crowns Like sun gods spitting rain Found a way home written on this map Like red dye in my veins In the hardest times that come around The fear of losing grows I´ve lost and seen the world shut down It´s a darkness no one knows
And I´ve poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain
Standing in a station waiting in the rain I´m starting to feel a little muscle again But love is lost like a runaway train Oh I´m out of control and out of my hands I´m tearing like a demon through no man´s land Trying to get a grip on my life again Nothing hits harder than a runaway train
