Mellow

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1972

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cool grass blowing up the pass

Don't you know I'm feeling mellow

I love your Roman nose, the way you curl your toes baby

Make me feel so mellow

 

It's the same old feeling I get when you're stealing

Back into my bed again

With the curtains closed and the window froze

By the rhythm of the rain

 

You make me mellow, you make me mellow

Rocking smooth and slow

Mellow's the feeling that we get

Watching the coal fire glow

 

You make me mellow, I make you mellow

Wrecking the sheets real fine

Heaven knows what you sent me Lord

But God this is a mellow time

 

Going down to the stores in town

Getting all the things we need

Don't forget the beer my little dear

It helps to sow the mellow seed

 

And it can't be bad, all the love I've had

Coursing through my life

Down in the pass where the wind blows fast

And mellow's feeling right

Done
