Cold Highway Letra

Cold Highwaymusic by Elton John . lyrics by Bernie Taupin1974Your life stepped lightly out our handsWhen no one's looking out you understandYour world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turnThe bottom fell out and our fingers got burnedAnd there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles downWhere the corners turn blind like the graveyard groundOh your black icy snare once cut down my friendIn the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to endEvery new version of the way of lifeLeaves you reckless and searching for stars in the nightBut whose kid are you when they finally decideThe lifestyle you led and the way that you diedBut they're oh so simple, they're still trying to tellThe difference for you between heaven and hellTo glorify something, your legends are foundBut all they bought you was a hole in the groundYears rolling by just like a dreamI'm partly human and I'm partly machineThey've lost you and fate put your name on a stonePerhaps now my friend they might leave you alone
