The Wide-Eyed and Laughing Elton John

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
For 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
For 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
Ooh, ahead of the wind
