John Elton - Slow Rivers-Elton John Bernie Taupin Lyrics

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
