Sleeping With The Past

Sleeping With The Past - Elton John (艾爾頓·約翰)

Written by：Elton John/Bernie Taupin

He's stolen your tears one by one

You're proud to love him it's a foolish sign

You're a broken heart at the scene of the crime

And the night drags on and the fever burns

Come to your senses everybody learns

You sleep in sweet fire lost and blue

You're an empty doll in the power of a fool

Don't go sleeping with the past

Don't go praying he'll come back

Take a deep breath and deny

You could love a man like that

Don't go sleeping with the past

Don't go waking with a dream

There's no tenderness that's left

In the cracks you step between

If it looks like rain if it makes no sound

It's an echo of pain on common ground

Love's like a junkie addiction's a fact

Passion's a monkey you can't keep off your back

Don't go sleeping with the past

Don't go praying he'll come back

Take a deep breath and deny

You could love a man like that

Don't go sleeping with the past

Don't go waking with a dream

There's no tenderness that's left

In the cracks you step between

But he takes love and he turns it cold

He's just an iceman honey ain't got no heart of gold

But he sees you and he runs from you

Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to

And he'll hurt you

And he'll run from you

Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to

Don't go sleeping with the past

Don't go praying he'll come back

Take a deep breath and deny

You could love a man like that

Don't go sleeping with the past

Don't go waking with a dream

There's no tenderness that's left

In the cracks you step between

There's no tenderness that's left

In the cracks you step between
