Music by Elton John, Davey Johnstone, and Caleb Quaye Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
I wonder who´s sleeping in your sheets tonight
Whose head rests upon the bed Could it be a close friend I knew so well Who seems to be so close to you instead Close to you instead
I´m blue tonight, I´m red when I´m mad I´m green when I´m jealous, yellow when I´m sad I guess I cannot have everything So much has flown between the years When I was twenty and you were seventeen
So out of choice I chose rock and roll But it pushed me to the limit everyday It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home From there on, there seemed no use for you For you to stay
And if I shower around 3 a.m.
It´s just to wash away The trace of a love unwanted Oh in the times I went astray The times I went astray
So much has flown between the years When I was twenty and you were seventeen
