Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Sleeping With The PastLike a thief he's come, like a thief he's goneHe's stolen your tears one by oneYou're proud to love him, it's a foolish signYou're a broken heart at the scene of the crimeAnd the night drags on, and the fever burnsCome to your senses, everybody learnsYou sleep in sweet fire lost and blueYou're an empty doll in the power of a foolDon't go sleeping with the pastDon't go praying he'll come backTake a deep breath and denyYou could love a man like thatDon't go sleeping with the pastDon't go waking with a dreamThere's no tenderness that's leftIn the cracks you step betweenIf it looks like rain, if it makes no soundIt's an echo of pain on common groundLove's like a junkie, addiction's a factPassion's a monkey you can't keep off your backBut he takes love and he turns it coldHe's just an iceman honey, ain't got no heart of goldBut he sees you and he runs from youCome on and shake this shadow that you're clinging toAnd he'll hurt youAnd he'll run from you
