Radio Paradise (mobile)

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyes, pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the song
The words she knows, the tune she hums
But, oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

I guess there really is a supreme being who reaches down and rescues us when we just don't feel like we have another breath to breathe. I'll be okay. I'm just really, really tired, but nowhere near as tired as others who've posted at the journals. This song will always be my bright light - that one that beckons me towards a more positive place. Thanks, whoever uploaded it. You may have saved my life tonight, in a convoluted way. Miss you so much, Cynaera... love this song... [ Reply ]

lemmoth Mar 26, 2012 - 09:36	My college cafeteria in Brooklyn had a great juke box and though I didn't play I used to hang out there at lunch with the school's hockey team. One time, when Tiny Dancer came on, one of the team's really tough guys (I believe he led the league in penalty minutes) got up on the cafeteria table and began to sing along to this sweet beautiful love song at the top of his lungs. People knew who was at the table - and knew how tough Pete was - so no one dared make fun of this big guy singing this sweet song. It helped me understand how an appreciate for art, music and sensitive emotional issues like love was not at all incompatible with being a so called "manly man." [ Reply ]

Blastcat900 Mar 26, 2012 - 09:13	My last gf hated Elton John... I tried playing this album while driving slow through downtown Montreal. She told me to just put it down, yeah, I had the window open and her inadequate stereo on full blast. She has dumped me. So, thanks, RP. Thanks Sir Elton, its loud as I listen... Songs are not just silly things. This one hits me right in my teenaged heart. Now, I remember... and will be looking for my tiny dancer for ever. [ Reply ]
