When I was Tealby Abbey is recounting the early years of Elton John’s music career with Bernie Taupin, John’s songwriter. Both spent time in Taupin’s former abbey, his private home, located in Lincolnshire, England in the village of Tealby.
John is talking to Taupin and his younger self reminiscing...
I'm very low but not too dim
I can still see the faces of you and him
I remember well how it used to be
You remember too obviously
Remember when, remember when I was Tealby Abbey then
It was not so long ago maybe a hundred years or so
When I was Tealby Abbey
That's a long long time ago
When I was Tealby Abbey
That's a long long time ago
When the clock stopped and the rocks dropped
And the gravel started giving away
I can still recall when we were small
But oh what a fateful day
In younger times, children climb
Up and down your walls
And a curse on the day the fates will say
When I Was Tealby Abbey was written by Bernie Taupin & Elton John.
When I Was Tealby Abbey was produced by Caleb Quaye.
