Dolphin Song - Tori Amos

Matthew, bring in your fishing nets

Have you caught yourself a woman

Caught yourself a woman yet?

Sometimes you call me Melusine

After the Lady of the Fountain

In whose lake you took the drink

And, boy, I know, I know that you burn

For your water spirit

Now that know, I know the lengths that you’d go

To chase the roughest tide that’s right behind me

Yes, I know, I know the lengths that you’d go

To bring the roughest tide in smooth like dolphin

Smooth like dolphin

I sought shelter in our child’s room

She and me against the world

Safe in our cocoon

You raced a giant roller-skate

And said, «The three of us must leave this place

Song lines will guide our way»

And, boy, I know, I know that you burn

For your water spirit

Now that know, I know the lengths that you’d go

To chase the roughest tide that’s right behind me

Yes, I know, I know the lengths that you’d go

To bring the roughest tide in smooth like dolphin

Smooth like dolphin

Matthew, bring in your fishing nets

I have been marked by your gospel

This daughter of a preacher man

‘Cause boy I feel, I feel that you burn

For your water spirit

I said that boy, I feel, feel that you burn

For your water girl

Now that I know, I know the lengths that you’d go

To bring the tide that’s racing right behind me

Yes, I know, I know the lengths that you’d go

To bring the roughest tide in smooth like dolphin

Smooth like dolphin

Smooth like dolphin

Smooth like dolphin
