The New Fever Waltz - Elton John

Forgotten scars remind us of

Too much war, too little love

Beneath the fault-line truth to burn

Within the page so much to learn

Wounded birds look to us

Who can heal?

Who to trust

Bring down the giants old and new

Strike up the band and waltz on through

I was shaking with a fever

When the last good horse went down

We were just a couple dancing

Where a thousand kings were crowned

Shaking with a fever

Before the white flag flew

And the ballroom opened up to us

And the dancers danced on through

Love in ruins, torn apart

Victims of the careless heart

Skating on the cold grey ice

Before the flood toward the light

Muddy boots to shiny shoes

Headlines screaming out the news

From dirt and damp to hardwood floors

Beyond the burned out broken walls

And the dancers danced on through
