Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin



It's getting dark in here

Don't want to leave

Shadow's falling

And I believe

Winds picking up

Thing's so unclear

I'm afraid of my shadow

And it's getting dark in here

I'm scared of strangers

On the street

World's so ugly

I can't breath

Moon's so spooky

I'm close to tears

I've lost it all

And it's getting dark in here



And the wait isn't worth what I'm getting

Sometimes I feel I'm on fire

I've been handed a curse and a blessing

My life's been stripped down to the wire

And I'm trying to get back and hold on

Find someone somewhere who cares

But the sun's always setting on my life

And it's sure getting dark in here



Don't talk about angels

Or how I'll be saved

I'm no coward

But I'm not that brave

Rags are blowing

Rain's getting near

I'm done with running

And it's getting dark in here



And the wait isn't worth what I'm getting

Sometimes I feel I'm on fire

I've been handed a curse and a blessing

My life's been stripped down to the wire

And I'm trying to get back and hold on

Find someone somewhere who cares

But the sun's always setting on my life

And it's sure getting dark in here

And the wait isn't worth what I'm getting

Sometimes I feel I'm on fire

I've been handed a curse and a blessing

My life's been stripped down to the wire

And I'm trying to get back and hold on

Find someone somewhere who cares

But the sun's always setting on my life

And it's sure getting dark in here



Yeah, the sun's always setting on my life

And it's sure getting dark in here
