Mansfield Lyrics - Songs From The West Coast - Elton John

It's a case I guess of paradise lost 

Ten years back on the hands of the clock 

In that little house on Mansfield 

On your old block 

Sometimes the magic of the past is all we've got 

Just you and me at a crossroads then 

Ain't it funny how we were old friends 

Accidentally thrown together 

Did we intend 

To be the romantic novel you never want to end

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And it's the contact of the eye that meets across a crowded room 

And how I kind of wound up the lyrics to your tune 

You said, 'Funny but it feels like I've known you all my life 

And how it might feel to kiss you on the mouth tonight' 

In between the Star of David and the California moon 

The Santa Ana winds blew warm into your room 

We were crazy, wild and running 

Blind to the change to come 

In that little house on Mansfield 

We'd wake at the break of dawn 

In an Indian summer gone 

In the candlelight I can recall 

Your naked shadow looking ten feet tall 

Like a wild pony dancing 

Along the wall 

Off balance I found love the only place to fall
