Amoreena - Elton John (Tumbleweed Connection 8 of 10)

AMOREENA
Elton John
Tumbleweed Connection (1970)

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

And when it rains the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing fit to burst upon each other

I can see you sitting eating apples in the evening
The fruit juice flowing slowly, slowly, slowly
Down the bronze of your body
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

And when it rains the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing fit to burst upon each other

Oh if only I could nestle in the cradle of your cabin
My arms around your shoulders the windows wide and open
While the swallow and the sycamore are playing in the valley
Oh I miss you Amoreena like a king bee misses honey

And when it rains the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing fit to burst upon each other

And when it rains the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing fit to burst upon each other

(solo)

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

What the hell is wrong with you people/ This place is not for hate. it is to enjoy music and youfreaking make nonsensical bigoted remarks...I'm hispanic, i'm a man. want to deal with me? do you not believe in love/ this country was founded on premises and those who bastardize is , should look elsewhere. Yes, i will take you on to protect our people, our nation whether gay or not, we are human.

Doesn't get much better than My Father's Gun. Good choice.

I wonder what this would like with modern recording equipment. That's the reason I rarely listen to things recorded before 1995 haha.

@BareNakedBather Preach, Brother. Music is supposed to unite a world so severely divided by things like religion and hate. Lets just enjoy this music for what it is: A gift from a genius.

@DigJam53 Back in the mid seventies, I considered Goodbye Yellow Brick Road the best Elton album because I was so familiar with most of the songs from hearing them on the radio. Tiumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water were largely ignored because neither album contained big hits. Today, while I still enjoy GYBR, it is those other two albums I listen to the most. Each one is a cohesive set of songs that fit together thematically, and are meant to be listened to at one time.EJ's best

the 70s were amazing music times Faith.

[DistortedFaiths]

Sometimes I wish I was around in the 70s to experience this kind of stuff.
