Pinky
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Caribou
A E/A D/A A
A E/A D/A A
A Bm/A
I don't want to wake you
Bm EDA
But I'd like to tell you that I love you
C#m F#m
That the candlelight fell like a crescent
D A/C# Bm E
Upon your feather pillow
For there's more ways than one
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
Bm E
Pinky's as perfect as the Fourth of July
Bm E
Quilted and timeless, seldom denied
D A/C# B
The trial and the error of my master plan
ED A A/C# D/B
Now she rolls like the dice in a poor gambler's hands
A E/A D/A A
A E/A D/A A
You don't want to tell me
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
