Amos, Tori - Climb Lyrics






"Climb over the church wall" he said
"You can feed the koi in the pond
Climb over the church wall in your Sunday dress
Be sure to feed the koi in the pond"
It's a long long climb going back in time

All of me wants to be... believe
That the angels will find me Saint Veronica
All of me wants to be... believe
That somehow you will save me Saint Veronica

He said "Kneel before your judges in reverence
Your penance for the woman you'll become
You knew if you talked there'd be a consequence
Your sentence for the woman you'll become"
Ten days of hell in Satan's cell

All of me wants to be... believe
That the angels will find me Saint Veronica
All of me wants to be... believe
That somehow you will save me Saint Veronica

Dream of dimensions
Then cross through the veil to them
Wrap yourself in linen holding Jesus close
Calling Saint
Calling Saint
Saint Veronica

"Climb out of the belly of the beast" she said
"Become a witness out of the abyss
The temple of the soul will have to heal the flesh
Only when you're whole can you forgive
But it's a long long climb
It's a long long climb"

Amos, Tori Climb Comments
  1. C.... L....

    As a younger person, I bought every CD that Tori Amos released - From Little Earthquakes until American Doll Posse, then after 20 years I more or less tired of her sound - though still a fan I stopped updating my Amos library. Finding this song by change in 2019, brings me back to the FIRST time I heard "Winter" on the radio in 1992! This song, 'sparks' (Pun intended lol ) memories of those earlier albums! Amazing! She STILL has it - the power of voice, tune and lyrics! Shine on Tori Amos - with love from Canada.

    IF I WAD RICH I'D WOULD ASK TORI AMOS TO SPEND 24 HOURS WITH HER.. AND PAY HER WHAT NEVER IT WOULD TAKE.. "JUST TALKING" SO MANY QUESTIONS.. AND TO HEAR HER SPEAK !!! I WONDER IF SHE KNOWS WHAT A BLESSING SHE IS TO THIS WORLD...
