Hannah We Know :
In the north eastern sky
Down the sun in my mind
He's making his was into our world
It's a long way to go
Five days in a row
Oh but Hannah she knows what's good for him
And you'll see him
you'll feel him
Because he's talking to you

And Hannah we know, he's gone
Hannah we know, he's gone
Hannah we know, he's gone
Hannah we know,

In the north eastern sky
Dow the sun in my mind
She's making her way into out world
Its sure a long way to go
Five days in a row
But oh
And Hannah she knows what's best for him

Ad you'll see him
you'll feel him
Because he's talking to you

And Hannah we know, he's gone
Hannah we know, he's gone
Hannah we know, he's gone
Hannah we know
Woah oh oh oh

But you'll see him
And you'll feel him
Because he's talking to you

And Hannah we know, he's gone
Hannah we know, he's gone




Hannah we know, he's gone
Hannah we know

Overall Meaning

Interpretation:
The lyrics of the song "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John paint a beautiful picture of a young aspiring dancer who is on a journey to a better life. The lyrics of the song is a tribute to the real-life Tiny Dancer, Taupin's girlfriend at the time who was a ballerina. In contrast, "Hannah We Know" appears to be a metaphor for something more mysterious and abstract. The opening lines set the scene: there is a "northeastern sky" with the sun going down. The singer's thoughts turn to someone he refers to as "him."


As the verse continues, it becomes clear that "him" is coming into our world from somewhere else, and that someone named Hannah has important knowledge about how to help him adapt to his new surroundings. Meanwhile, the chorus repeats the phrase "Hannah we know, he's gone," suggesting that whatever has arrived has left again, and that perhaps Hannah is the only one who truly understands what just happened.


The repetition of the line "You'll see him, You'll feel him because he's talking to you," is a beautiful and haunting reminder of the power of connection between human beings. Perhaps this connection is what Hannah has tapped into, and why she is able to speak for the person the singer cannot see.


Overall, the lyrics of "Tiny Dancer," and particularly "Hannah We Know," offer a sense of mystery and wonder, inviting the listener to imagine what could be happening at the edges of our own world.
