*His Girl
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Released as a UK single in January, 1969
When the shrill winds are screaming
And the evening is still
Lady Samantha glides over the hill
In a long satin dress that she wears every day
Her home is the hillside, her bed is the grave
Lady Samantha glides like a tiger
Over the hills with no one beside her
No one comes near
They all live in fear
But Lady Samantha, she sheds only tears
The tales that I told round the fire every night
Are out of proportion and none of them right
She is harmles
LONG ROAD
There are the ones that you call friends.
There are the ones that you call late at night.
There are the ones who sweep away your past
With one wave of their hand.
There are the ones that you call family.
There are the ones that you hold close to your heart.
They are the ones who see the danger in you
Who won't understand.
I can hear your voice in the wind. (I can hear your voice.)
Are you calling to me, down the long road?
Do you really think there's an end?
Do you really think there's an end?
I have followed my dream
Down the long road.
You are the one that I met long ago.
You are the one who saw my dream.
You are the one, took me from my home
And left me off somewhere.
Somehow I feel you are here
And you are waiting in that dream.
And somewhere down this road we will awake
And be at the start again.
I can hear your voice in the wind.
I can hear your voice in the wind.
Are you calling to me, down the long road?
Do you really think there's an end?
Do you really think there's an end?
I have lived my whole life
Down the long road.
I gotta find you tonight.
Are you waiting for me, down the long road?
Do you really think there's an end?
Do you really think there's an end?
I have lived my whole life
Down the long road.
Are you waiting for me?
I can hear your voice in the wind.
I can hear your voice in the wind.
Are you calling to me, down the long road?
Do you really think there's an end?
Do you really think there's an end?
I have lived my whole life
Down the long road. Mmmm.
