Artist/Band: Elton John
Lyrics for Song: The Golden Boy
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Elton John



When I worked in the mill weavin' at the loom

I'd gaze absent minded at the roof

And half the time the shuttle o tangle in the threads

And the warp o get mixed with the woof

The golden boy



But somehow I ken see

Just exack'ly how I'd be



The golden boy

Time and again I would try to say

All I'd want you to know

The golden boy

Words wouldn't come in an easy way

Round in circles I'd go



Longing to tell you, but afraid and shy.

I'd let the golden chances pass me by.

Soon you'd leave me.

Off you would go in the mist of day.

Never, never to know,

The golden boy, the golden boy...



Longing to tell you, but afraid and shy

I'd let the golden chances pass me by



Soon you'd leave me.

Off you would go in the mist of day

Never, never to know

The golden boy

The golden boy


The Golden Boy

The Golden Boy stands as a poignant song in Elton John's expansive discography, capturing the melancholic reflection characteristic of his later work. The track explores themes of fleeting fame and the burdens of public adoration, delivered through John's signature blend of piano-driven balladry and emotive vocal performance. While the song does not carry the immediate commercial weight of his classic hits, it resonates with the introspective quality found throughout his extensive catalogue. The recording highlights the artist's enduring ability to craft narratives about identity and legacy, offering listeners a moment of quiet contemplation within a career defined by both exuberant anthems and tender, personal statements.
