Gulliver/It's Hay Chewed
Elton John Lyrics

Gulliver's gone to the final command of his master
Gulliver has passed away and gone to the afterlife at the request of his master

His watery eyes had washed all the hills with his laughter
His tears of joy had spread happiness throughout the surroundings

And the seasons can change all the light from the grey to the dim
The passing of time can dim the brightness and vibrancy of life

But the light in his eyes will see no more so bright
However, Gulliver's inner light and spirit will no longer shine as brightly

As the sheep that he locked in the pen
Similar to the sheep he used to take care of, Gulliver's freedom and joy have been confined

There's four feet of ground in front of the barn
In front of the barn, there is a small plot of land where Gulliver is buried

That's sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm
This plot of land has been exposed to the sun and rain, and is an integral part of the farm

But now it lies empty, so cold and so bare
However, now it remains vacant, devoid of life, and filled with emptiness

Gulliver's gone but his memory lies there
Although Gulliver is no longer present, his memory remains in that place

By passing the doors of his life was a stage I remember
As I recall, Gulliver approached life as if it were a performance, constantly moving forward

And in later years he would cease to bare teeth to a stranger
As he grew older, he became less inclined to show his vulnerability to unfamiliar people

For sentiment touched him as Cyclamen holds him
Deep emotions had a profound impact on him, similar to how a delicate flower holds someone's attention

And later men came from the town
Not long after, individuals from the town arrived

Who said, clear the child this won't take a while
They instructed others to move aside quickly, as this would not require much time or effort

And Gulliver's gone with the dawn
And so, Gulliver departed at daybreak

I looked high, saw the empty sky
As I looked up, I observed the vast and vacant sky

If I could only, could only fly
If only I had the ability to soar through the air

Come to Val-hala seek and you will find
If you come to Valhalla and search, you will discover

Down on Western Ford Gateway
In a specific location called Western Ford Gateway

That's a place where the dead say
That is a place where the deceased claim

That a man lives no more
That a person's life eventually comes to an end

Than his fair share of days
All one can expect is their allotted number of days on Earth

And I don't wanna be
Personally, I do not wish to become

The son of any freak
The offspring of an eccentric or unusual person

Who for a chocolate center
Someone who, in exchange for a simple treat,

Can take you off the street
Can remove you from a difficult or precarious situation

For soon they'll plough the desert
Because in the near future, they will cultivate an uncultivable land

And God knows where I'll be
And it is uncertain where I will end up

If it's not the same as now
If the future is not similar to the present

It's the same as yesterday
Then it will be identical to the past

Yes lady, what's tomorrow
My dear lady, what does the future hold?

Will it be the same as now
Will it resemble the present?

The black lace curtains brought you near
The dark and delicate curtains drew you closer

From out the plate glass window
From beyond the transparent window

Oh, how high the scaffold grows
Oh, the immense height of the structure increases

The plant life of your window
The vegetation outside your window

For just a skyline pigeon
Only a pigeon perched on a city skyline

Dreaming of the open
Yearning for freedom and vastness

Waiting for the day
Anticipating the arrival of the day

He can spread his wings
When he can extend his wings

And fly away again
And once again soar through the air
