An unreleased out-take from the 1990s
| Music: | Elton John |
| Lyrics: | Bernie Taupin |
I've been a single-minded man
Handing out my share of cuts and bruises
Learning where to stand
Learning who I am and how to prove it
Handing out my share of cuts and bruises
Learning where to stand
Learning who I am and how to prove it
I've been waltzing on the edge
Looking for a chance to seize the day
Dancing out the clock
And collecting time before it slips away
Looking for a chance to seize the day
Dancing out the clock
And collecting time before it slips away
I've a ton to understand here
Lonely are the hours of a restless sleep
Dusting out the demons
Learning how to stand on my two feet
Lonely are the hours of a restless sleep
Dusting out the demons
Learning how to stand on my two feet
I've called the right connections
Plugged into the heart and soul
I've come to understanding
Knowing when to come in from the cold
Plugged into the heart and soul
I've come to understanding
Knowing when to come in from the cold
chorus:
So meet our eyes on middle ground
Come back from yesterday
The past is a dusty scrapbook
And dust just blows away
Get done what you're doing
Say what you gotta say
Get back on the track
Get back from yesterday
Come back from yesterday
The past is a dusty scrapbook
And dust just blows away
Get done what you're doing
Say what you gotta say
Get back on the track
Get back from yesterday
I've been a single-minded man
Handing out my share of cuts and bruises
Learning where to stand
Learning who I am and how to prove it
Handing out my share of cuts and bruises
Learning where to stand
Learning who I am and how to prove it
I've been waltzing on the edge
Looking for a chance to seize the day
Dancing out the clock
And collecting time before it slips away
Looking for a chance to seize the day
Dancing out the clock
And collecting time before it slips away
(repeat chorus)
