Waiting under the shelter of the bridge    For it to clear up    I had a wonderful dream    About that time with you       We couldn't make a pledge by pinky promise, could we?       To tell the truth, I wish it wouldn't clear up    With no time to rest, like a hurricane going past       We couldn't make a pledge by pinky promise, could we?    I was looking through a pure white album with no photos inside    We couldn't make a pledge by pinky promise, could we?    We couldn't make a pledge by pinky promise, could we?       [The phrase "pinky promise" is used to take the place of a Japanese _expression that children use, in which they pledge to cut off their little fingers (or eat a thousand needles) if they break their promise. The literal translation would be "cut finger."]
