I Must Have Lost It On The Wind

[BiteUrLip]

Music: Elton John

Lyrics: Bernie Taupin

I'm no longer counting, I'm not keeping score

I could say my list of lovers doesn't matter anymore

But some are always in my heart

And some I'm not so sure

Either way they all left their mark

And for some I found a cure


chorus:


And from one you learn something

And another you learn, nothing

And there's one who might teach you everything

But before I learned to listen

And if indeed someone said it

Then I guess I must have lost it on the wind


Back when I was younger each one was a prize

Love just came along and hit you right between the eyes

And one was just a trophy catch

And one was like a curse

Some would want to bleed you dry

Some might quench your thirst


(repeat chorus)


(repeat chorus)


In cold water I went fishing in warm seas I cast a line

And swore the heart I was reeling in was perfect at the time

You couldn't tell me I was wrong, you couldn't tell me anything

And if you did then I guess I must have lost it on the wind

[BiteUrLip]

A great, truly a really "nice" song from TC&TK. The intro doesn't promise much, but the chorus is really beautiful.

5 stars.

"I Must Have Lost It On The Wind" from THE CAPTAIN AND THE KID:

Elton & Bernie's autobiographical follow-up to CAPTAIN FANTASTIC AND THE BROWN DIRT COWBOY was the 2006 release of THE CAPTAIN AND THE KID.  "I Must Have Lost It On The Wind" was a nice album track from this album.  An album and song which might have benefitted from another producer, it did at least create a demo-like feel to the record.  Bernie's lyrics on this song and album were strong.  The melody is nice. 

Rating:  3 1/2 to 4 stars
