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
