Elton John - Between Seventeen and Twenty lyrics
[Elton John - Between Seventeen and Twenty lyrics]
Your sheets tonight
Whose head rests upon the bed
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
Who seems to be so close to you instead?
Close to you instead
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I'm green when I'm jealous
Yellow when I'm sad
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
It turned me into a gypsy
Kept me away from home
From there on, there seemed no use for you
For you to stay
And if I shower around 3 am
It's just to wash away
The trace of a love unwanted
Oh, in the times I went astray
The times I went astray
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
It turned me into a gypsy
Kept me away from home
From there on, there seemed no use for you
For you to stay
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I'm green when I'm jealous
Yellow when I'm sad
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, ooh and you were seventeen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty, oh and you were seventeen
