race you to the waterside.

Dad’s sunday morning impromptu piano concert reminded me how much I love this song.  I move in and out of phases with elton john, in varying degrees of obsession depending on how much his songs fit the current events in my life.  This one, though, says everything I want to say right now.  Plus, the man’s a genius, and his piano playing kind of makes me want to laugh and cry all at the same time.

Don’t wish it away
Don’t look at it like it’s forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And while I’m away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won’t be long
Before you and me run
To the place in our hearts
Where we hide

And I guess that’s why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that’s why
They call it the blues

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation
And never forget I’m your man

Without me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that’s why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that’s why
They call it the blues

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that’s why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that’s why
They call it the blues
