*🎼✨LYRICS✨✍️*

VERSE 1:

the roses in the window box…
have tilted to one side…
everything about this house…
is gonna 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…”

REFRAIN 1:

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

VERSE 2:

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
While if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You’ll make it back somehow

REFRAIN 2:

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

REFRAIN 3:

OUTRO:

Ooh ooh
Ooh
Oh oh oh oh ooh
Love lies bleeding in my hands
Ooh
ooh ooh…

*THEMES*

(opening track of 1973 elton john album “goodbye yellow brick road”)

(one of my favorite songs during ‘summer 2002’)
(before my first year of college)
(first summer i had my own car to drive)
(the ‘ford explorer’)
(it was always being played on Q104.3)
(reminds me of trying in vain to pursue ‘gabby cohen’)
(and aimlessly driving around the neighborhoods all night looking for a party to crash)

(i also liked the ominous title of “funeral for a friend”)
(i used to say this to ‘paul lee’ out of the blue and he jokingly interpreted it as a suicidal threat)
