Elton John, Brandi Carlile - Simple Things(2021)

[00:10.53] As an old man, I'm a young man
[00:13.26] 'Cause I've not been old for long
[00:16.16] And before these trembling waters settle
[00:19.21] I'll have flown the pond
[00:21.55] So I don't mean to be morbid
[00:24.16] Or a bit too on the nose
[00:27.04] But I'd like to share a few things
[00:29.58] That I've learned along the road
[00:36.44] What you'll find chasing dreams
[00:39.20] Is the finish line recedes
[00:42.03] And the riddle stays a riddle
[00:44.65] Oh, the humour's bittersweet
[00:47.59] All nature does is dance
[00:49.95] So when you dance you're in accord
[00:52.63] Look no further than the feeling
[00:55.23] That it gives you for reward
[00:59.39] Reward (reward)
[01:02.35] Reward
[01:04.96] Reward (reward)
[01:08.18] Simple things
[01:11.02] Hard to learn
[01:13.71] Fire is hot
[01:16.51] Burn, burn, burn
[01:19.24] Simple truth
[01:21.86] Hard to see
[01:24.13] Not what you want
[01:27.02] But what you need (what you need)
[01:36.53] Mhmm
[01:38.92] I've been a sleepwalker, a cheap talker
[01:42.17] A sly grin, a discreet offer
[01:45.12] I've held steady for a gaze
[01:47.73] I've led a lover through a maze
[01:50.13] Thrown bottles at the wall
[01:52.79] When someone forgot to call
[01:55.36] I've done all the things a wild heart will do
[02:03.19] I will do
[02:05.34] What you'll find chasing dreams
[02:07.79] Is the finish line recedes
[02:10.38] And the riddle stays a riddle
[02:13.29] Oh, the humour's bittersweet
[02:16.19] All nature does is dance
[02:18.51] So when you dance you're in accord
[02:21.24] Look no further than the feeling
[02:24.17] That it gives you for reward
[02:27.87] Reward (reward)
[02:30.86] Reward
[02:33.42] Reward (reward)
[02:36.94] Simple things
[02:39.83] Hard to learn
[02:42.47] Fire is hot
[02:45.02] Burn, burn, burn
[02:47.76] Simple truth
[02:50.69] Hard to see
[02:52.94] Not what you want
[02:55.69] But what you need
[02:59.39]
[03:31.46] Simple things
[03:34.36] Hard to learn
[03:36.92] Fire is hot
