LATITUDE (by Elton John)

I'm a fan of Elton John. I love almost all his songs because they are meaningful and pleasant. The majority of them talk about life, feelings, emotions and man. I thought in this song when I read the story about Calum McCall.

Grey London morning
Wet London streets
Rain on the Window
Wind in the trees
It’s my time to write
It’s your time to call
There’s something about distance
That gets to us all.

Dark clouds above me
Little people below
All walk with a purpose
With someplace to go
It’s my place to paint
My own selfish scene
On this cold lonely canvas
It’s just the weather and me.

And latitude
Fold back the morning and brings on the night
There’s an alien moon
That hangs between darkness and light
Latitude
Between me and you
You’re a straight line of distance
A cold stretch of black across blue
Latitude

Cracks in the sidewalk
Dogs on the run
An old poster reading
‘Give us your sons’
Window frames capture
Moments in time
But latitude captures
The heart and the mind.

And latitude
Fold back the morning and bring on the night
There’s an alien moon
That hangs between darkness and light
Latitude
Between me and you
You’re a straight line of distance
A cold stretch of black across blue
Latitude

And latitude
Fold back the morning and bring on the night
There’s an alien moon
That hangs between me and you
You’re straight line of distance
A cold stretch of black across blue
Latitude
