When I Was Tealby Abbey (piano demo) Songtext
von Elton John

I′m very low but not too dim
I can still see the faces of you and him
I remember well how it used to be
You remember, too, obviously

Remember when, remember when I was Tealby Abbey then
It was not so long ago, maybe a hundred years or so
When I was Tealby Abbey
That's a long, long time ago
When I was Tealby Abbey
That′s a long, long time ago

When the clock stopped and the rocks dropped
And the gravel started giving away
Yes, I can still recall when we were small
But oh, what a fateful day

In younger times, the children climb
Up and down your walls
And a curse on the day, the fates will say
When Tealby Abbey falls


Remember when, remember when I was Tealby Abbey then
It was not so long ago, maybe a hundred years or so
When I was Tealby Abbey
That's a long, long time ago
When I was Tealby Abbey
That's a long, long time ago

Da-da-dam-dam
Da-da-da-dam
Da-da-dam-dam-da-da-daa
Da-da-dam-daa-daa-da-daa-da
Daa-dam-daa-da-daa-daa

Da-da-dam-dam-daa-da-da-da-daa
Da-da-dam-dam-da-daa-daa
Da-da-dam-dam-daa-da-daa-daa
Daa-dam-dam-daa-da-daa

Remember when, remember when I was Tealby Abbey then
It was not so long ago, maybe a hundred years or so
When I was Tealby Abbey
That′s a long, long time ago
When I was Tealby Abbey
That′s a long, long time ago

Ooh, oh man
