John, Elton - Pinky Lyrics
I don't want to wake you
But I'd like to tell you that I love you
That the candlelight fell like a crescent
Upon your feather pillow
And the ways of the world are a blessing
For when Pinky's dreaming
She owes the world nothing
And her silence keeps us guessing
Pinky's as perfect as the Fourth of July
Quilted and timeless, seldom denied
The trial and the error of my master plan
Now she rolls like the dice in a poor gambler's hands
But somehow you've guessed that I know
Oh when dawn came this morning
You discovered a feeling that burned like a flame in your soul
For there's toast and honey
And there's breakfast in bed on a tray
Oh it's ten below zero
And we're about to abandon our plans for the day

AWESOME
Always loved this one Thanx beautiful xx 💜🎶🐦🌺
Adoro essa música... deveria ter saído em single.
He is my lover
A mais bela musica de Elton na minha opiniao.
Muito difícil afirmar, qual a mais "bela música" do Elton John... Sem dúvida , uma das melhores !
The meaning of lyrics?...well, I think it just boils down to whether work with the music or they don't. Bernie Taupin's lyrics never disappoint and never fail to complement Elton's superb musicianship.
I had all of Elton's early albums but sold them and many others about twenty years ago to raise money when I was broke. I'm so grateful to the people who upload these tracks because I can listen to them again and feel for a few seconds that wonderful exhilaration I felt on hearing them first time round when I young.
Elton actually set all the music to Bernie's words, so really it's Elton doing the masterful complementing of Bernie's masterful lyricism..... So glad you get to listen to the wonderful songs again though. This is one of my favourite songs of theirs.
Putting words to music and vice versa is pure magic.
All this discussion of the lyrics meaning... I'm pretty sure these lyrics were written by Bernie while he, his wife, and the band were staying in cabins at the Caribou ranch studio in winter where this album was recorded. So, Bernie and his wife were holed up in the room on a freezing ("it's ten below zero") morning, and that was the inspiration for this song.
This song is in my heart forever... my mom' and dad used to love it and so do I up to now..... Elton / Bernie are angels of music in this planet..... LOVE THEM 4 ever
The thing that makes Elton John and his songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin so great, is that even many of their lesser-known songs like this one could have been big hits. "Pinky" has always been one of my favorite Elton songs and can still remember my older brother playing this song many times back in the 1970's.
Lovely, lovely song !!! It only could be Elton John ! By the way, "Happy birthday Sir Elton John ! 72 years today !!
Love this ! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Me too. One of my all-time fav songs! His voice is magic....
It certainly is Ronnie- he’s a one off that’s for sure❤️
agree james
only one elton, all there ever was all there will ever be
I've always been curious about this song. Who is this *"Pinky"?* Was Pinky a drag queen Elton and Bernie met while touring the US?
The thing that makes Elton and Bernie Taupin so great, is that even many of their B-Side songs were just as good as the many hits they had.
I agree. I love their hits, like *"The Bitch is Back",* and *"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me",* but I also love songs like *"You're So Static",* *"Dixie Lily",* *"Pinky",* and *"Ticking."*
@Jason Carpp Ticking is one of his best songs
@golfer59 agreed.
Brilliant
44 years on - and just as beautiful as it was then - so simple, so wonderful - so enjoy........
So many beautiful songs from Elt and Bernie when I was a kid. I remembered hearing this song for the first time, loved it then, love it now.
Best song besides High Flying Birds of that era (BESIDES THE EPIC MASTERPIECES TICKING AND INDIAN SUNSET) - and perfect diction and vocals. Superbe arrangement......
I agree. I rank Ticking and Indian Sunset as his two best songs !
For all the bad music the 70's had, there was soooo much great music in all venues. A time that will never be repeated.........
Great work there, Bernie with a can of Oly. thank you
My favorite Elton John love song.
#60 of my elton 100

RonnieFriend thank you. I cherish each masterpiece.
Cool. UR very welcome. So glad U enjoy!
god i love this reminds me of the summer of 1992 driving around downtown at night in summer when i first heard it where is my sweet pinky so pure and true and perfect as the 4th of july!
my older brothers and sisters turned me on to this outstanding shit, born in 1967...... loved it ever since !
Me too !!
" quilted timeless "
One more of those lost treasures, but always showing how far Elton will go... and after all this time, still going.Great song ! That one to be listening in the dark of the room with someone or alone too.
Does anybody know any live version of this song? Has Elton ever performed it live?
072clyde I found one on YouTube a while back; in my top 20 Elton songs of all time, would love to hear it live. Sounds like Toni Tennille too in the background
Bless Dee Maurray who has left us!
I agree. I loved him.
One of his finest vocal and songs!! thx
kmalwz rockin love the voice doubling
Listened to this on 8 track so many times in high school when it came out. Love this song, brings back memories from High school, Katella High school class of 76', Anaheim CA- David Knittle, 7/5/2014
Ha ha, I have very similar feelings listening to Caribou! Brings back memories of high school in the seventies, driving around in my friend's car, listening to Caribou on 8-track...... Southern California!
@RonnieFriend Yes, Good memories Ronnie. Magic years, no matter how difficult things were.
