Tiny Dancer Lyrics

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand

"Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band

and
"Lay me down in sheets of linen"

Both make me think of Yoko Ono. The first part seems like a physical description of her and the "linen" part almost sounds like Lennon, and the thought of Yoko and John in bed announcing their dreams about peace and whatnot. I dunno... haha, it's dumb, but that part has always just made me think of them.

Anyway, it's a beautiful song. It reminds me of my best friend who he moved away not too long ago. Elton is so cool.
