Elton John — Elderberry Wine

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus x2] [Outro x5] Elderberry wine
