Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album the fox 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 Fires that help to keep you moving Just a kick away 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
