Elton John - Gulliver Lyrics
Official




Gulliver's gone to the final command of his master
His watery eyes had washed all the hills with his laughter
And the seasons can change all the light from the grey to the dim
But the light in his eyes will see no more so bright
As the sheep that he locked in the pen

There's four feet of ground in front of the barn
That's sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm
But now it lies empty, so cold and so bare
Gulliver's gone but his memory lies there

By passing the doors of his life was a stage I remember
And in later years he would cease to bare teeth to a stranger
For sentiment touched him as Cyclamen holds him
And later men came from the town
Who said, clear the child this won't take a while
And Gulliver's gone with the dawn

There's four feet of ground in front of the barn
That's sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm
But now it lies empty, so cold and so bare
Gulliver's gone but his memory lies there
Four feet of ground in front of the barn
Sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm
Now it lies empty, so cold and so bare
Gulliver's gone but his memory lies there

I looked high, saw the empty sky
If I could only, could only fly

Come to Val-hala seek and you will find

Down on Western Ford Gateway
That's a place where the dead say
That a man lives no more
Than his fair share of days
Down on Western Ford Gateway

And I don't wanna be
The son of any freak
Who for a chocolate center
Can take you off the street
For soon they'll plough the desert
And God knows where I'll be

If it's not the same as now
It's the same as yesterday
Yes lady, what's tomorrow
Will it be the same as now

The black lace curtains brought you near
From out the plate glass window
Oh, how high the scaffold grows
The plant life of your window

For just a skyline pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away, skyline pigeon
