Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album The Big Picture Pull my coat around me Feel the cold wind haunt me Streets are empty just like me The murmur of an echo Seems to come from every window Is loneliness the same as being free I guess I must have been dreaming To think that I believed in you at all Now I just can't fight it As the shadow of the night begins to fall Love's got a lot to answer for Oh I just can't sleep with this feeling anymore Let the cold night air cool the heat Of two hearts gone to war For no matter who wins, in the end Love's got a lot to answer for All I need is darkness The best of all protection Freedom's like the stars in the sky Alone and cold and burning Each one keeps it's distance If only we were stars, you and I
