The song was dedicated to Maxine Feibelman--Taupin's first wife--on the album Madman Across the Water . </P> <P> The song features a piano - based melody during verses and an arrangement that at the start features pedal steel guitar and light percussion but, shifting subtly halfway through one of the choruses, by the end is driven by Paul Buckmaster's dynamic strings, along with a barely heard backing choir . </P>
