Tori Amos – A Sorta Fairytale

on my way up north up on the Ventura

I pulled back the hood and I was talking to you

and I knew then it would be a Life Long thing

but I didn’t know that we

We could break a silver lining

And I’m so sad like a good book

I can’t put this Day Back

a sorta fairytale with you

things you said that day up on the 101

the girl had come undone I tried to downplay it

with a bet about us You said that-

You’d take it as long as I could

I could not erase it

And I’m so sad …

and I ride along side

and I rode along side you then

and I rode along side

till you lost me there in the open road

And I rode along side till the honey spread

itself so thin for me to break your bread

for me to take your word I had to steal it

And I’m so sad …

I could pick back up whenever I feel

Down New Mexico way

something about the open road

I knew that he was looking for some Indian Blood

and find a little in you find a little in me

we may be on this road

but we’re just imposters in this country you know

So we go along and we said we’d fake it

feel better with Oliver Stone

till I almost smacked him – seemed right that night

and I don’t know what takes hold

out there in the desert cold

these guys think they must

Try and just get over on us

And I’m so sad …

and I was ridin’ by ridin’ along side

for a while till you lost me

and I was ridin’ by ridin’ along

till you lost me till you lost me

in the Rear View you lost me

I said Way up North I took my day

all in all was a pretty nice day

put the Hood right back where

You could taste heaven perfectly

Feel out the summer breeze

didn’t know when we’d be back

And I – I don’t – didn’t think

we’d end up like this
