Latitude

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album made in england

Grey london morning, wet london streets
Rain on the window, wind in the trees
Its my time to write, its your time to call
Theres something about distance that gets to us all

Dark clouds above me, little people below
All walk with a purpose with someplace to go
Its my place to paint my own selfish scene
On this cold lonely canvas, its just the weather and me

And latitude
Fold back the morning and bring on the night
Theres an alien moon
That hangs between darkness and light
Latitude between me and you
Youre a straight line of distance
A cold strech of black across blue
Latitude

Cracks in the sidewalks, dogs on the run
An old poster reading give us your sons
Window frames capture moments in time
But latitude captures the heart and the mind
