When This Old World Is Done with Me Songtext
von Elton John

I won′t want for nothing
I've been alright, I′ve been okay, I've been fine
I've had clouds with silver linings, complicated mornings
Love that left me wanting and hearts that changed my mind

I can feel the cold front
I′ve been chilly, I′ve been frozen, I've been warm
I′ve felt sympathy and silence, helping hands and guidance
Happiness and anger since the day that I was born

When this old world is done with me
Just know I came this far
To be broken up in pieces
Scatter me among the stars


When this old world is done with me
When I close my eyes
Release me like an ocean wave
Return me to the tide

None of this came easy
The shadows, the curtain, or the light
The pain inside the leaving, the taming of the demons
No longer any reason left for me to fight

And when this old world is done with me
Just know I came this far
To be broken up in pieces
Scatter me among the stars

When this old world is done with me
When I close my eyes
Release me like an ocean wave
Return me to the tide

Release me like an ocean wave
Return me to the tide
