A SORTA FAIRY TALE

By: Tori Amos

on my way up northup 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 bookI can't put this

Day Backa sorta fairytale with you

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 couldI could not erase it

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

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

butwe're just Impostors in this country you know

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

feel better with Oliver Stone

till Ialmost 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 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 lostme

inthe RearView you lost meI said

Way up North I took my day all in all was a pretty nice day

and I put the Hoodright 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

like this
