Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Released as a uk b-side in 1998
Oh I've been staying up nights Thinking about a long flight that could take me home Or a slow train rolling Or a big boat floating out there on that lonely ocean
I'm not the man I was I guess the dark side lost and the sun broke through I thought I knew it all I was the next big thing until I thought about you
Oh I was reaching for the stars When I wasn't even touching you I was lying to myself, I needed no one's help Thought I was living proof
When there's one set of footsteps No one's gonna fill your shoes Now I'm looking in the mirror At a big man in a little suit
I'm a big man in a little suit It's tight on me, hard on you It's a short cut but it's a long way home When you think you can make it on you own
You think you're bulletproof But what you really are Is a big man in a little suit
I was part of the chain A face with no name in a place with no soul By a thief in the night I was robbed of the light and left nothing, nothing to hold
I've turned my back on a world like that I want to get back to loving you Give me one more chance Won't you warm the hands of this cold headed fool
