Tori Amos - Girl Lyrics






From in the shadow
She calls
And in the shadow
She finds a way
And in the shadow
She crawls
Clutching her faded photograph
My image under her thumb
Yes with a message for my heart
She's been everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own

And in the doorway
They stay and laugh
As violins fill with water
Screams from the bluebells
Can't make them go away
We'll I'm not seventeen
But I've cuts on my knees
Falling down
As the winter takes one more cherry tree
Rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation
Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue
And the drugstores too safe
In their coats
Anda in their do's
Yeah smother in our hearts
A pillow to my dots
One day maybe
One day
One day she'll be her own

And in the mist
There she rides
And castles are burning in my heart
And as I twist I hold tight
And I ride to work every morning
Wondering why
"Sit in the chair and be good now" And become all that they told you
The white coats enter her room
And I'm callin' my baby
Callin' my baby
Callin' my baby
Callin' everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own

    My song to my mom.

  23. J.... P....

    Everything this song is perfect! Tori Amos' voice, how she plays the piano...and at the end of the song, a violin.

  24. G.... ....

    it sounds like a Kate Bush song .

    G.... ....

    Kate Bush always has been a hug inspiration for her. Nowadays It happens the same with Julia Holter and Joanna Newsom.

  25. k.... r....

    it's just tooooooo good.

  26. Y.... ....

    ...i wraca bumerangiem celnym...:-))

  27. Y.... ....

    ...genialna Tori. Jak w '92 Agnieszka pokazała mi to, pomyślałem: troszkę zmieniona a równie dobra nowa płyta Kate Bush. A tu taka niespodzianka na lata, która systematyczne gra u nas na żywo...:-))

  28. A.... J....

    Women and Desire - Beyond Wanting to be Wanted  (By Polly Young-Eisendrath)

  29. B.... D....

    My absolute favorite song by Tori Amos. I agree, it's waaaay under-rated!

    B.... D....

    +Mrs. Bryant I agree. Mine too!

    B.... D....

    Rose Viola this is the song that fits me the most. also silent all these years.

    B.... D....

    You know what's up. I don't understand how this wasn't a hit single, fans rarely mention this song and it drives me nuts. In my opinion it is one of her two best songs, along with Gold Dust.

    B.... D....

    live, this song is devastating. saw tough army vet weep openly. so did i. we knew someone like everyone elses girl

    B.... D....

    So true🙏👍🏾🎭
