Elton John - Mansfield lyrics

It's a case I guess of paradise lost<br>Ten years back on the hands of the clock<br>In that little house on mansfield<br>On your old block<br>Sometimes the magic of the past is all we've got<br><br>Just you and me at a crossroads then<br>Ain't it funny how we were old friends<br>Accidentally thrown together<br>Did we intend<br>To be the romantic novel you never want to end<br><br>And it's the contact of the eye that meets across a crowded room<br>And how I kind of wound up the lyrics to your tune<br>You said, 'funny but it feels like I've known you all my life<br>And how it might feel to kiss you on the mouth tonight'<br><br>In between the star of david and the california moon<br>The santa ana winds blew warm into your room<br>We were crazy, wild and running<br>Blind to the change to come<br>In that little house on mansfield<br>We'd wake at the break of dawn<br>In an indian summer gone<br><br>In the candlelight I can recall<br>Your naked shadow looking ten feet tall<br>Like a wild pony dancing<br>Along the wall<br>Off balance I found love the only place to fall
