Dolphin Song

Tori Amos · A Piano: The Collection [2006]

Men you bring in your fishing nets

Have you caught yourself a woman

Caught yourself a woman yet?

Sometimes you call me Melusine

After the Lady of the Fountain

In whose lake you took the drink



And boy I know, I know that you burn

Boy you water spirit



Now that know,

I know the lengths that you'd go

to chase the roughest tide

It's right behind me

Yes I know the lengths that you'd go

to bring the roughest tide in.

Small like dolphins

Ah ha

Small like dolphins

Ah ha



I sought shelter in our child's room

She and me against the world,

safe in our cocoon

You raced a giant rollerskate

And so the three of us must leave this place

Song lines will guide our way

And boy I know, I know that you burn

For your water spirit.



Now that I know,

I know the lengths that you'd go

To bring the roughest tide

It's right behind me

Yes I know,

I know the lengths that you'd go

To bring the roughest tide

Small like dolphins

Ah ha

Small like dolphins

Ah ha



Men you bring in your fishing nets

I have been marred by your gospel

This daughter of a preacher man.



'cause boy I feel, I feel that you burn

for your water spirit

I said that Boy, I feel, feel that you burn

For your water girl



Now that I know,

I know the lengths that you'd go

To bring the tide that's racing

Right behind me

Yes I know,

I know the lengths that you'd go

To bring the roughest tide in.

Small like dolphins

Ah ha

Small like dolphins

Ah ha
