Music by elton john, davey johnstone, and caleb quaye<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album blue moves<br><br>I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight<br>Whose head rests upon the bed<br>Could it be a close friend I knew so well<br>Who seems to be so close to you instead<br>Close to you instead<br><br>I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad<br>I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad<br>I guess I cannot have everything<br>So much has flown between the years<br>When I was twenty and you were seventeen<br><br>So out of choice I chose rock and roll<br>But it pushed me to the limit everyday<br>It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home<br>From there on, there seemed no use for you<br>For you to stay<br><br>And if I shower around 3 a.m.<br>It's just to wash away<br>The trace of a love unwanted<br>Oh in the times I went astray<br>The times I went astray<br><br>So much has flown between the years<br>When I was twenty and you were seventeen
