Heels Of The Wind Songtext / Lyric

Heels Of The Wind

music by Elton John . lyrics by Bernie Taupin
album The Fox 1981


just like a broken marriage
when two people just don't care
like when the cupboard is empty
or there's no food in the frigidaire

I'm a page from the end of the story
no closer to my hope and glory
just a kick away from the heels of the wind

how come it gets so disturbing
when two ships pass in the storm
who knows how high the crow flies
who knows where this refugee was born

I'm a page from the end of the story
no closer to my hope and glory
just a kick away from the heels of the wind

and just for the sake of all these reasons
rains wash out the fires within
fire that helps to keep you moving
just a kick a way from the heels of the wind

you don't deserve that treatment
I can't pretend I was that nice
I'm no E ticket ride to Disneyland
I'm no cushy first-class flight

I'm a day behind your restless wings
you, you rather have the wealth of kings
me, I'd rather be on the heels of the wind

and just for the sake of all these reasons
rains wash out the fires within
fire that helps to keep you moving
just a kick a way from the heels of the wind

just a kick a way from the heels of the wind

just a kick a way from the heels of the wind
