Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Never released See my eyes and I see my arms The seagulls say you've gone It was just a game of let's pretend And I whistle to the waves that lend me tears Purple clouds, golden rain Yesterday has gone And a dandelion dies in the wind If you're quick enough to rise With the sleep still in your eyes You'll see the shadow of the sun above my mind I know that only you can help me now Purple clouds, golden rain Yesterday has gone And a dandelion dies in the wind But a dandelion sighs And it tries to tell the wind That crying's not a bad thing Worrying is a sin If they sent a cloud from heaven I would ride into the skies To escape all of my troubles And to cast away your lies Purple rains have turn to gold The clouds of yesterday And a dandelion dies in the wind I see my eyes and I see my arms The seagulls say you've gone It was just a game of let's pretend And I whistle to the waves that lend me tears Purple clouds, golden rain Yesterday has gone And a dandelion dies in the wind
