Stones Throw From Hurtin'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stones Throw From Hurtin' is a track from British pop-rock performer Elton John's 1989 album, Sleeping with the Past. The songs tells about that sometimes people have to let stuff they once loved go if they can't get it and that some things can never get better.

[edit] Singing style

Although with most of John's songs are sung with a voice loud enough to hear, he sings in an almost quiet one.

[edit] Lyrics

Help me information Get emotion on the line This war that's raging in my heart's Getting harder all the time Our painted smiles are cracking Our worried friends just frown We got a runaway train on an empty track That's trying to run us down

And I'm a stone's throw from hurtin' Everything we put together Knee deep in learning about burning this bridge forever I'm a stone's throw, a stone's throw A stone's throw from hurtin' And I know it's never gonna get no better

Crippled conversation hangs inside this house Our voices just get ugly When our love gets all talked out Your goodnight kiss ain't hungry Our touches don't connect We're just a couple of kids with a broken toy That our idle fingers wrecked

Some things get broken When stones get thrown Some things get better When you leave what you love And you let what you love alone

Some things get broken When stones get thrown Some things get better when you leave what you love And let what you love alone
