Elton John - Mansfield lyrics

It's a case I guess of paradise lost
Ten years back on the hands of the clock
In that little house on Mansfield
On your old block
Sometimes the magic of the past
Is all we've got
Just you and me at a crossroads then
Isn't it funny how we were old friends
Accidentally thrown together did we intend
To be the romantic novel you
Never want to end

And it's the contact of the eye
That meets across a crowded room
And how I kind of wound up
The lyrics to your tune you said
'Funny but it feels like I've
Known you all my life
And how it might feel to kiss
You on the mouth tonight

In between the Star of David
And the California moon
The Santa Ana winds blew warm into your room
We were crazy, wild and running
Blind to the change to come
In that little house on Mansfield
We'd wake at the break of dawn
In an Indian summer gone

In the candlelight I can recall
Your naked shadow looking ten feet tall
Like a wild pony dancing along the wall
Off balance I found love the
Only place to fall

And it's the contact of the eye
That meets across a crowded room
And how I kind of wound up
The lyrics to your tune you said
'Funny but it feels like I've
Known you all my life
And how it might feel to kiss
You on the mouth tonight

In between the Star of David
And the California moon
The Santa Ana winds blew warm into your room
We were crazy, wild and running
Blind to the change to come
In that little house on Mansfield
We'd wake at the break of dawn
In an Indian summer gone

We'd wake at the break of dawn
In an Indian summer gone
