Amazes Me

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album sleeping with the past

You're a cool little one
My dark southern breeze
Sweeps through my fingers
And it amazes me

Dixie shadowland
Your envy shelters me
Lay down your burden
Mystery of ebony


And it amazes me
Oh it amazes me
Maybe the heat babe could be this tune
It amazes me
It amazes me
What drives me crazy is that big fat yellow moon


Look up that pale light
Well she's waking the trees
I'm drifting in your hoodoo
And it amazes me


That magnolia state
Got a hold on me
I got no blues to preach
Just mississippi company


Ain't no magic potion
No gri-gri on her side
She's bound to my salvation
Sweet little mama
Take me down by the river tonight
And it amazes me
