Elton John - When I Was Tealby Abbey lyrics

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Never released

I'm very low but not too dim

I can still see the faces of you and him

I remember well how it used to be

You remember too obviously

Remember when, remember when I was tealby abbey then

It was not so long ago maybe a hundred years or so

When I was tealby abbey

That's a long long time ago

When I was tealby abbey

That's a long long time ago

When the clock stopped and the rocks dropped

And the gravel started giving away

I can still recall when we were small

But oh what a fateful day

In younger times, children climb

Up and down your walls

And a curse on the day the fates will say

When tealby abbey falls
