Can't Stay Alone Tonight
Elton John
Letra

Álbum: The Diving Board ( 2013)

verse 1

I blew the dust out of the corners 

Threw some dead wood on the fire 

Tuned the radio to silence 

Watched the evening sun expire 

Should have called you up this morning 

But I m such a fool at times 

I still search my shaving mirror 

Looking for your face with mine 

Chorus 

     And I can t stay alone tonight 

     Can t let another day go by 

     Why is it always this way? 

     Time never seems to really fly 

     And time is never really on my side 

     And I can t stay alone tonight 

     Things have to change and they might 

     But I can t stay alone tonight 

verse 2

Chalk up one more crazy notion 

Imagination running wild 

But if I needed confirmation 

I would have gone that extra mile 

You re the last chance on the highway 

I m that open stretch of road 

You re the diner in my rear-view 

A cup of coffee getting cold 

Chorus 

     And I can t stay alone tonight 

     Can t let another day go by 

     Why is it always this way? 

     Time never seems to really fly 

     And time is never really on my side 

     And I can t stay alone tonight 

     Things have to change and they might 

     But I can t stay alone tonight 

Bridge 

Bruised in this cold war of words 

We ve come undone two loose ends alone 

Possessed by that curse you ve endured 

The spell that I cast couldn t make you come home 

Chorus 

     And I can t stay alone tonight 

     Can t let another day go by 

     Why is it always this way? 

     Time never seems to really fly 

     And time is never really on my side 

     And I can t stay alone tonight 

     Things have to change and they might 

     But I can t stay alone tonight 

     Things have to change and they might 

     But I can t stay alone tonight
