Elton John - The Wide-Eyed and Laughing lyrics
[Elton John - The Wide-Eyed and Laughing lyrics]
The boat that you row
Or do you still cling to
Me when it's sinking?
I never condemned you, I only consoled you
When candlelight made me a king
For the wide-eyed and laughing
Passed like a season
Erasing a passion to sin
For no one knew better than the
Tea leaves and the tarots
That the wide-eyed and laughing
Were just one step ahead of the wind
And the hearts that you played on
The porch swing for me
Was a song that I'd heard in the past
For I had an audience somewhere inside you
That applauded whenever you laughed
For the wide-eyed and laughing
Passed like a season
Erasing a passion to sin
For no one knew better than the
Tea leaves and the tarots
That the wide-eyed and laughing
Were just one step ahead of the wind
Ooh, ahead of the wind
Gone is a word that I now rarely use
Though sometime in the course of a day
I go racing back like a man possessed
By the wide-eyed and laughing daughters
Of some different age
