Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos

Purple sunset

Orange moon

I'm alone again

Without you

I knew someone

Had to lose

Kiss goodbye

Go back to your separate life

That you have with her

Ashes blow

In the windy skye

Take my heart

As you go

Chorus:

Baby it burns

Baby it burns

Baby it burns

To be your

Fire on the side

Taste my tears

See how the burn

Baby it burns

To be your

Fire on the side



Purple sunset

Orange moon

How can the

Music play

When the only band

Is made of gold

Wrapped around

Your hand

That i

Used to hold

Against my chest

Every night

But I still

Can hope

You will see

I'm your home

Repeat chorus

I knew someone

Had to lose

Kiss goodbye

Go back to your separate life

That you have with her

Take my heart

As you go

Repeat chorus
