Aniversário da Tori Amos (XX)

Quem não está acostumado com as inúmeras tradições (cof, cof) do átomo deve ter estranhado que não teve post ontem. Quem está, sabe o motivo: hoje é aniversário da Tori Amos, então é dia de postar uma letra de uma música dela!

Nesse ano em que Tori completa 59 aninhos e eu completo vinte posts dedicados a seus aniversários, teremos uma música de seu mais recente álbum, Ocean to Ocean, lançado no final do ano passado.

E para manter mais uma tradição: feliz aniversário, Tori, muitos anos de vida! \o/

Swim to New York State
Letra e música: Tori Amos

I'd swim to New York State
From the Cornish coast of England
For even just a day
We'll meet at that cafe

You'll say it hurt too much to stay
And so you left the Cornish coast of England
And a love who was not ready for this
To dive with you to where the sea-maids live

I'll say that is when I
I had to face
Life just wasn't the same
And how you gave and you gave

I'll ask, will you come back?
To the Cornish coast of England
There's a rock pool we can dive in
And that now I understand

You gave everything
You gave the love
You made the difference you gave
You gave the love
You gave everything
You gave the love
While I was looking away

You gave and you gave
And you gave and you gave
And you gave and you gave
Selfless without blame
Your triumph abandoned in the rain
And you gave and you gave
And you gave and you gave
And you gave and then still you gave

I'd swim from New York State
To the Cornish coast of England
I found a cave we can dive in
If only for the day
If only for the day
