Here is a new (November, 2018) blog from Bernie Taupin regarding how he actually wrote "Your Song":

Nice to have Bernie clarify how the song was written. His site, art, and blog are worth checking out.

Enjoy!

The last paragraph especially is quite telling. One thing that makes me feel good, I guess, is that I've never been one to dissect lyrics (he mentions several songs, including Madman that people have interpreted in various ways). On the other hand, songs, being what they are, are often open to personal interpretation, which Bernie does allude to, kind of, in his last sentence.
