Slow Rivers

Duet with cliff richard

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album leather jackets



The weather man he looks confused

Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do

But you don't remember things like that do you

The balance was uneven but i'm breaking through



Slow rivers run cold

Shallow waters never sank so low

I thought i'd drown and you'd never know

You're a slow river and you run so cold





The winter here don't believe in god

The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog

I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog

But one foot in your door oh that's all i ever got





Chances are you'll reappear

Swim my way in a flood of tears

No place to hide your conscience so

You're a sinking ship with no place to go
