Tomato

Tomato is acrylic on masonite, about 30-32 x 36 inches, signed and dated 1970.

Jerry Pompili bought it, I can't remember when he first saw it or where; he sent the digital over this afternoon.

~Amoreena~

Elton John and Bernie Taupin, 1970

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady

Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak

Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours

Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

And when it rains the rain falls down

Washing out the cattle town

And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown

And she dreams of crystal streams

Of days gone by when we would lean

Laughing fit to burst upon each other

I can see you sitting eating apples in the evening

The fruit juice flowing slowly, slowly, slowly

Down the bronze of your body

Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours

Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

Oh if only I could nestle in the cradle of your cabin

My arms around your shoulders the windows wide and open

While the swallow and the sycamore are playing in the valley

Oh I miss you Amoreena like a king bee misses honey

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady

Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak

Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours

Rolling through the hay like a puppy child
