The Wide-Eyed And Laughing

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Music by Elton John, Caleb Quaye, James Newton-Howard and Davey JohnstoneLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Blue MovesAre you still in control of the boat that you rowOr do you still cling to me when its sinkingI never condemned you, I only consoled youWhen candlelight made me a KingFor the wide-eyed and laughingPassed like a seasonErasing a passion to sinFor no one knew better than the tealeaves and the tarotsThat the wide-eyed and laughingWere just one step ahead of the windAnd the hearts that you played on the porch swing for meWas a song that I'd heard in the pastFor I had an audience somewhere inside youThat applauded whenever you laughedGone is a word that I now rarely useThough sometime in the course of a dayI go racing back like a man possessed
