Elton John – Goodbye

An old-old song by the gay genius. Accidentally found it while browsing a friend’s Elton John collection.

The original:

Lyrics after the jump

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
