Elton John - Between Seventeen & Twenty Lyrics
Music by elton john, davey johnstone, and caleb quayeLyrics by bernie taupinAvailable on the album blue movesI wonder whos sleeping in your sheets tonightWhose head rests upon the bedCould it be a close friend I knew so wellWho seems to be so close to you insteadClose to you insteadIm blue tonight, Im red when Im madIm green when Im jealous, yellow when Im sadI guess I cannot have everythingSo much has flown between the yearsWhen I was twenty and you were seventeenSo out of choice I chose rock and rollBut it pushed me to the limit everydayIt turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from homeFrom there on, there seemed no use for youFor you to stayAnd if I shower around 3 a.m.Its just to wash awayThe trace of a love unwantedOh in the times I went astrayThe times I went astraySo much has flown between the yearsWhen I was twenty and you were seventeen
