rate me

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album too low for zero<br><br>We still sit at separate tables<br>And we sleep at different times<br>And the warm wind in the palm trees<br>Hasn't helped to change our minds<br><br>It was the lure of the tropics<br>That I thought might heal the scars<br>Of a love burned out by silence<br>In a marriage minus heart<br><br>And I call the kids on the telephone<br>Say there's something wrong out here<br>It's july but it's cold as christmas<br>In the middle of the year<br><br>The temperature's up to ninety five<br>But there's a winter look in your mother's eyes<br>And to melt the tears there's a heat wave here<br>So how come it's cold as christmas in the middle of the year<br><br>I dreamed of love in a better climate<br>And for what it's really worth<br>I put faith in the star we followed<br>To this caribbean surf<br><br>But there's an icy fringe on everything<br>And I cannot find the lines<br>Where's the beauty in the beast we made<br>Why the frost in the summertime
