Do you know what I mean, have your eyes really seen?

I think the last album I bought of Elton John's was Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.  Captain Fantastic was Elton John's first critical flop. The critics panned it. I am sure he still sold billions of copies. By then there were enough of us who were so hooked that we would buy anything he produced.

If you know me well, you will know what my two all time favorite EJ songs are. They are both off the same album even. Don't get me wrong, there are many other EJ songs I love, these two just happen to be my absolute favorites.  I will recite for you the short one here. The other one is too long to post on an AOL blog. The other one is Indian Sunset. God I hate AOL.

Goodbye, Elton John and Bernie Taupin

And now that it's all over
The birds can nest again
I'll only snow when the sun comes out
I'll shine only when it starts to rain

And if you want a drink
Just squeeze my hand
And wine will flow into the land
And feed my lambs

For I am a mirror
I can reflect the moon
I will write songs for you
I'll be your silver spoon

I'm sorry I took your time
I am the poem that doesn't rhyme
Just turn back a page
I'll waste away, I'll waste away
I'll waste away, I'll waste away
I'll waste away, I'll waste away
