2002 #22 album The Great Divide**lf**Writers: Bernie Taupin, Matthew Serletic**lf**duet with Willie Nelson**lf****lf**Counted the stars on the 4th of July**lf**Wishing we were rockets bursting into the sky**lf**Talking about redemption and leaving things behind**lf**As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line**lf****lf**Scarce as Monday morning feeling washed away**lf**I orchestrated paradise, couldn''t make you stay**lf**You dance with the horses through the sands of time**lf**As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino County Line**lf****lf**I have these pictures and I keep these photographs**lf**To remind me of a time**lf**These pictures and these photographs**lf**Let me know, I''m doing fine**lf**I use to make you happy, once upon a time**lf**But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line**lf****lf**The two of us together felt nothing but right**lf**Feeling we''re immortal, every Friday night**lf**Lost in our convictions, lips stained with wine**lf**As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line**lf****lf**I have these pictures and I keep these photographs**lf**To remind me of a time**lf**These pictures and these photographs**lf**Let me know, I''m doing fine**lf**I use to make you happy, once upon a time**lf**But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line**lf****lf**I don''t talk to you too much these days**lf**I just thank the Lord pictures don''t fade**lf**I spent time with an angel, just passing through**lf**Now all that''s left is this image of you**lf****lf**Counted the stars on the 4th of July**lf**Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky**lf**Talking about redemption and leaving things behind**lf****lf**I have these pictures and I keep these photographs**lf**To remind me of a time**lf**These pictures and these photographs**lf**Let me know, I''m doing fine**lf**We use to be so happy once upon a time**lf**Once upon a time**lf**But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line**lf**And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line**lf****lf**Mendocino County Line**lf**Mendocino County Line**lf**Mendocino County Line
