Tori Amos - Song Of Sorrow Lyrics

Tori Amos Lyrics

"Song Of Sorrow"

I invited you in
I invited you in
I invited you in
Yes, I did
Across the timelines
You have come
Entered in

So long ago
So long ago
So long, so long, long ago
Now you
You say to me
You say to me

"Sing me your songs of yearning
Song of sorrow
You've sung to me for thousands of years."

"Sing to me of your longing
You're longing still
But can't you see I am here
My dear?
You're becoming your own woman
And whole again, whole again, whole again."

We faced tough battles
Not all were won
Good souls cut down
Some far too young
Far too young
So, may their starlight bones
Find their own way home
Own way home

"Sing me your songs of yearning
Song of sorrow
You've sung to me for thousands of years."

"Sing to me of your longing
You're longing still
But can't you see I am here
My dear?
You're becoming your own woman
And whole again, whole again, whole again."

You say
"My spear. It is sharp
So, your spirit may be soft."
This ancient love
You thought was lost
Thought was lost

Like 10,000
Exploding suns
This ancient love
Always is
Always was

"Sing me your songs of yearning
Song of sorrow
You've sung to me for thousands of years."

"Sing to me of your longing
You're longing still
But can't you see I am here
My dear?
You're becoming your own woman
Whole again, whole again, whole again."

I invited you in
I invited you in
I invited you in
Yes, I did
