Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album don't shoot me I'm only the piano player<br><br>There's a fly in the window<br>A dog in the yard<br>And a year since I saw you<br>There's a trunk in the corner<br>I keep all my letters<br>My bills and demands I keep too<br><br>Well I can't help thinking<br>About the times<br>You were a wife of mine<br>You aimed to please me<br>Cooked black-eyed peas-me<br>Made elderberry wine<br><br>Drunk all the time<br>Feeling fine on elderberry wine<br>Those were the days<br>We'd lay in the haze<br>Forget depressive times<br>How can I ever get it together<br>Without a wife in line<br>To pick the crop and get me hot<br>On elderberry wine<br><br>Round a tree in the summer<br>A fire in the fall<br>Flat out when they couldn't stand<br>The bottle went round<br>Like a woman down south<br>Passed on from hand to hand
