(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)

The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Is gonna grow and die

Well it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day

(Chorus:)
And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
When my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
All the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
While if the wind of change coming down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow

(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Love lies bleeding in my hands
