Elton John - Big Man In A Little Suit lyrics

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
