rate me

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album leather jackets<br><br>Nobody left in the airport lounge<br>They cleaned the ashtrays<br>Tv's just wound down<br>I've got to wait till morning<br>I've got to last the night<br>I've only got one book<br>To see me through my flight<br><br>But when I get to paris<br>We'll paint all our portraits<br>In brush-strokes of yellow<br>And christen the canvas<br>The left bank is crying<br>For colour to crown it<br>Like the roof of a palace<br>We'll drink in the amber<br>When I get to paris<br><br>You were the best of montmartre street life<br>You signed the tablecloth<br>Art has it's price<br>It's so hard to hold on<br>To the ghost of your breed<br>It takes ambition<br>To call the colours you need<br><br>I've got to wait till morning<br>I've got to last the night<br>I've only got one book<br>To see me through the flight
