The Wide-Eyed And Laughing - Elton John (艾尔顿·约翰)

Written by：Elton John/Davey Johnstone/Howard J. Newton/Caleb Quaye/Bernie Taupin

Are you still in control of 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 tealeaves 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 tealeaves and the tarots

That the wide eyed and laughing

Were just one step ahead of the wind

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

Of some different age
