Cold Highway Lyrics

by Elton JohnAlbum: Caribou·1974

Cold Highway Lyrics

Your Life Stepped Lightly Out Our Hands
When No One’s Looking Out You Understand
Your World Was A Wheel But The Cog Ceased To Turn
The Bottom Fell Out And Our Fingers Got Burned

And There’s A Cold, Cold Highway
That The Wind Whistles Down
Where The Corners Turn Blind
Like The Graveyard Ground
Oh Your Black Icy Snare Once
Cut Down My Friend
In The Deepest Dark Winter When
The World Seemed To End

Every New Version Of The Way Of Life
Leaves You Reckless And Searching
For Stars In The Night
But Whose Kid Are You When They Finally Decide
The Lifestyle You Led And The Way That You Died

Every New Version Of The Way Of Life
Leaves You Reckless And Searching
For Stars In The Night
But Whose Kid Are You When They Finally Decide
The Lifestyle You Led And The Way That You Died

Years Rolling By Just Like A Dream
I’m Partly Human And I’m Partly Machine
They’ve Lost You And Fate Put Your Name On A Stone
Perhaps Now My Friend They Might Leave You Alone
