Elton John

[Verse 1]
Forgotten scars remind us of
Too much war, too little love
Beneath the fault-line truth to burn
Within the page so much to learn

[Verse 2]
Wounded birds look to us
Who can heal? Who to trust
Bring down the giants old and new
Strike up the band and waltz on through

[Chorus]
I was shaking with a fever
When the last good horse went down
We were just a couple dancing
Where a thousand kings were crowned
Shaking with a fever
Before the white flag flew
And the ballroom opened up to us
And the dancers danced on through

[Verse 3]
Love in ruins, torn apart
Victims of the careless heart
Skating on the cold grey ice
Before the flood toward the light

[Verse 4]
Muddy boots to shiny shoes
Headlines screaming out the news
From dirt and damp to hardwood floors
Beyond the burned out broken walls

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

And the dancers danced on through
