The Wide-Eyed And Laughing

Song The Wide-Eyed And Laughing
Artist Elton John
Album Blue Moves

Lyrics

Are you still in control of the boat that you row
Or do you still cling to me when its sinking
I never condemned you,
I only consoled you
When candlelight made me a
KingFor 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
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
