Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
|
|
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
|
|
