Hearts Have Turned To Stone

Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John

I'm out here in the darkness

I hear the howling wind

Sometimes I sit and wonder

Will I ever see love again

Looking for an answer

Not an easy thing to find

Out here in the wilderness

With questions on my mind



Now the sun is rising higher in the sky

The morning light is crawling

From the darkness of the night

The raindrops keep on falling

There is no light of day

The sadness deep inside me

Doesn't seem to go away



And there's no way out. no road home

I'm lost in doubt and I'm all alone

The time has come

When love is done

Hearts have finally turned to stone



No more bright tomorrow, only sad today

My heart is filled with sorrow

The pain won't go away

Try to keep from crying

All night long and through the day

Lost and all alone

Hearts have finally turned to stone



No more bright tomorrow, only sad today

My heart is filled with sorrow

The pain won't go away

Just try to keep from crying

All night long and through the day

Lost and all alone

Hearts have finally turned to stone
