Theater dream funeral for a friend love lies bleeding lyrics

Originally recorded by Elton John

Written by Elton John/Bernie Taupin

From the album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" - 1973



The roses in the window box

Have tilted to one side

Everything about this house

Was born to grow and die



Oh it doesn't seem a year ago

To this very day

You said I'm sorry honey

If I don't change the pace

I can't face another day



Chorus :

And love lies bleeding in my hand

Oh it kills me to think of you with another man

I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan

But my guitar couldn't hold you

So I split the band

Love lies bleeding in my hands



I wonder if those changes

Have left a scar on you

Like all the burning hoops of fire

That you and I passed through



You're a bluebird on a telegraph line

I hope you're happy now

Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl

You'll make it back somehow



Chorus
