Song For Tori Lyrics

(*Tori Amos (from the "Silent All These Years" Limited
Edition digi-pak UK CD Single)*)

I wait all day for my sailor and sometimes he comes

"...what it was was, uh, there were these, this
girlfriend who I lived with
and I hitched to Franconia Notch from Cambridge..."

See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind I see

"...and there were just adventures along the way..."

You know me, you know me like the nightingale
'Oh fair maiden I see you standing there'

"...there were just, like, visions I had of her, uh,
dirty-blonde hair
everywhere..."

Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy your eyes haunt me

"...and there were just adventures along the way, and
we didn't have any
money or anything..." You know me

"...I don't know if we stayed in a motel or what, but
we were just like,
madly in love with each other, and it was just, a
wonderful experience..."

You know me, you know me like the nightingale
'Oh fair maiden I see you standing there'

"...you know, just sex and... and, uh, hitchhiking, and
no money, and I was
young, I was only 21 or 22..."

Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night

"...but there were just like visions I had of
her...uh..."

I see you in my dreams
Fair boy your eyes haunt me

"...it's hard to believe that I've lived another
lifetime since then..."
