First Episode At Hienton

On Elton John. Lyrics touch on Taupin's coming of age.

Lyrics:
I was one as you were one And we were two so much in love forever I loved the white socks that you wore But you don't wear white socks no more, now you're a woman I joked about your turned-up nose And criticized your school girl clothes But would I then have paced these roads to love you For seasons come and seasons go Bring forth the rain the sun and snow Make Valerie a woman And Valerie is lonely

No more to roam on the snow hills of Hienton Undecided with the guardians of the older generation A doormat was a sign of welcome In the winter months to come And in the summer laughing Through the castle ruins we'd run

For the quadrangle sang to the sun And the grace of our feeling And the candle burned low as we talked of the future Underneath the ceiling There were tears in the sky And the clouds in your eyes were just cover For your thighs were the cushions Of my love and yours for each other The songs still are sung It was fun to be young But please don't be sad where e'er you are

I am who I am You are who you are Now Valerie's a woman Now Valerie's a woman Now Valerie's a woman
