Elton John - Elderberry Wine

There's a fly in the window, a dog in the yard And a year since I saw you There's a trunk in the corner, I keep all my letters My bills and demands I keep too Well, I can't help thinking about the times You were a wife of mine You aimed to please me Cooked black-eyed peas-me Made elderberry wine Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine Those were the days we'd lay in the haze Forget depressive times How can I ever get it together without a wife in line To pick the crop and get me hot on elderberry wine? Round a tree in the summer, a fire in the fall Flat out when they couldn't stand The bottle went round like a woman down south Passed on from hand to hand Well, I can't help thinking about the times You were a wife of mine You aimed to please me Cooked black-eyed peas-me Made elderberry wine Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine Those were the days we'd lay in the haze Forget depressive times How can I ever get it together without a wife in line To pick the crop and get me hot on elderberry wine? Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine Those were the days we'd lay in the haze Forget depressive times How can I ever get it together without a wife in line To pick the crop and get me hot on elderberry wine?
