I Cry At Night

Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinReleased as a UK B-side in 1978This house that I live in has no reasonThis house that I sleep in has no purposeIt has a bed and a few old chairsThree flights up, two flights of stairsBut it has no reasonThen someone shot through the tyre swingThe dogs barked and bayed in the winter and springAnd the ivy that hung now sadly clingsTo a dying seasonAnd I cry at night when the lights go outAnd the green eyes fuse and the full moon shoutsFrom road maps and red lines to lipstick liesAnd when the lights go out it's tought to surviveThis man holds a hand that shows a trembleThis man that I live in bears his faultsHe has a heart and a well worn soulTen years a slave to Rock And RollBut he has to trembleFor the yellow grass on the sun burnt lawnSleeps in her seeds from the sunset to dawnAnd just like your love that's come and gone
