THE ONE

By Elton John

I SAW YOU DANCING OUT THE OCEAN
RUNNING FAST ALONG THE SAND
A SPIRIT BORN OF EARTH AND WATER
FIRE FLYING FROM YOUR HANDS.

IN THE INSTANT THAT YOU LOVE SOME ONE
IN THE SECOND THAT THE HAMMER HITS
REALITY RUNS UP YOU SPINE
AN THE PIECES FINALLY FIT

AND ALL I EVER NEED WAS THE ONE
LIKE A FREEDOM FIELDS WHERE WILD HORSES RUN
WHEN STARS COLLIDE LIKE YOU AND I
NO SHADOWS BLOCK THE SUN
YOU'RE ALL I'VE EVER NEEDED
BABY YOU'RE THE ONE.

THERE ARE CARAVANS WE FOLLOW
DRUNKEN NIGHTS IN DARK HOTELS
WHEN CHANCES BREATH BETWEEN THE SILENCE
WHERE SEX AND LOVE NO LONGER GEL.

FOR EACH MAN IN HIS TIME IS CAIN
UNTIL HE WALKS ALONG THE BEACH
AND SEES HIS FUTURE IN THE WATER
A LONG LOST HEART WITHIN HIS REACH.
