A long lost heart within his reach.”

“While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters,

Turn around and say good morning to the night.

They know not if it's dark outside or light.”

In your little corner of the world?

And never find a warmer soul to know.Oh I saw you by the wall,
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row.
With eyes that looked like ice on fire,
The human heart a captive in the snow.”

“And you can cage the songbird,
But you can't make her sing.
And you can trap the free bird,
But you'll have to clip her wings.
`Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies,
But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies.”

Projects a shadow cast in gloom.
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside.

That the wind can turn the tide.
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey.”

Skyline Pigeon
Song lyrics, Empty Sky (1969)

“But oh how it feels so real,
Lying here with no one near.
Only you and you can't hear me
When I say softly, slowly.Hold me closer tiny dancer,
Count the headlights on the highway.
Lay me down in sheets of linen,
You had a busy day today.”

Tiny Dancer
Song lyrics, Madman Across the Water (1971)

“You may not believe it,
But I don't believe in miracles anymore.
And when I think about it,
I don't believe I ever did for sure.
All the things I've said in songs,
All the purple prose you bought from me.
Reality's just black and white.
The sentimental things I'd write
Never meant that much to me.”

Elton John

And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left.
While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune,
A mantle of bright light shone down from a room.”

Get a little headline news.

On the state of teenage blues.”

He shall be Levon.”

“"Wuthering Heights" was not your normal type song — but that's why it was so brilliant. It was something out the norm. When something like that comes along, they don’t come along that often.

Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use”

You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen”
