Sacrifice


Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Sleeping With The Past

It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong

Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands


Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through


And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all


Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act


We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
