The Diving Board Lyrics

by Elton JohnAlbum: The Diving Board·2013

The Diving Board Lyrics

Took A High Dive Arcing Out Wide
Into The Crowd
Out To The Sound Of
Their Wild Applause
But You’ve Heard It All Before
And You’ve Seen It All
From Up There On The Diving Board

You’d Free Fall Into Either
Above The People
Out On A Limb
Fragile And Adored
But Who Below Knows That
You’re Still A Mystery
Way Up On The Diving Board

Sink Or Swim
I Can’t Recall
Who Said That To Me?
When I Was Sixteen
And Full Of The
World And Its Noise

But You Beat The Drum
You Fell In Love With It All
The Planets Alight
Those Dizzy Heights
And The View From
The Diving Board

Took The Grand Prize
You And Your Eyes
Butterfly Light
Escaping The Reach Of
Their Fangs And Their Claws
Such A Pale Little Thing
In Your Lily-white Skin
High Up On The Diving Board

Sink Or Swim
I Can’t Recall
Who Said That To Me?
When I Was Sixteen
And Full Of The
World And Its Noise

But You Beat The Drum
You Fell In Love With It All
The Planets Alight
Those Dizzy Heights
And The View From
The Diving Board

Sink Or Swim
I Can’t Recall
Who Said That To Me?
When I Was Sixteen
And Full Of The
World And Its Noise

But You Beat The Drum
You Fell In Love With It All
The Planets Alight
Those Dizzy Heights
And The View From
The Diving Board
And The View From
The Diving Board
