Your rating:


Music by Elton John, Caleb Quaye, James Newton-Howard and Davey Johnstone

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin



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 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



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
