Elderberry Wine - Elton John

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

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

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

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

Elderberry wine
