Between Seventeen And Twenty

Music by Elton John, Davey Johnstone & 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,
So 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
On and you were seventeen

And if I shower around 3 a.m.
It's just to wash away
The trace of a love unwanted
On in the times I went astray
The times I went astray

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
