Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album sleeping with the past<br><br>Like a thief he's come, like a thief he's gone<br>He's stolen your tears one by one<br>You're proud to love him, it's a foolish sign<br>You're a broken heart at the scene of the crime<br><br>And the night drags on, and the fever burns<br>Come to your senses, everybody learns<br>You sleep in sweet fire lost and blue<br>You're an empty doll in the power of a fool<br><br>Don't go sleeping with the past<br>Don't go praying he'll come back<br>Take a deep breath and deny<br>You could love a man like that<br><br>Don't go sleeping with the past<br>Don't go waking with a dream<br>There's no tenderness that's left<br>In the cracks you step between<br><br>If it looks like rain, if it makes no sound<br>It's an echo of pain on common ground<br>Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact<br>Passion's a monkey you can't keep off your back<br><br>But he takes love and he turns it cold<br>He's just an iceman honey, ain't got no heart of gold<br>But he sees you and he runs from you<br>Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to<br>And he'll hurt you<br>And he'll run from you<br>Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to
