ELTON JOHN - The North Star lyrics

rate me

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

You can't always count on the prayers in your sleep

But this cold light's still killing me

If I pay the ransom

Well can they guarantee

To split the chains, slip the knots

I don't know if they'll ever set you free

I just can't rely on all these twisted signs

Too many bright lights turn you blind

The history of the blues

Seems to swim in your eyes

Pick yourself up, throw your head back

Take a long, long look into the sky

Are you out there, are you listening

Am I'm coming across to you

Is the North Star still shining

In the sky outside your room

You can listen but they're lying

Don't let them tell you

What you've always known

It's the North Star that's the big one

And it's always gonna lead you home

Can't always agree on all my dumb ideas

I'm still looking for a way out of here

You can value what you want

But you pay for change

There's full moons, cold lifeless nights

And tumbled stars spell out your name

Close your eyes, take a ride

Think of everytime that you

missed your opp

click your heels, see how it feels

Something so childish
