Scarlet's Walk Songtext

von Tori Amos

Leaving terra
Leaving terra
Leaving terra

If you're a thought
You will want me
To think you
And I did
Invited a Guest
Up until
You announced
You had moved in

"What do you plan to do
With all your freedom"
The new sheriff said
Quite proud of his Badge

You must admit the land
Is now in good hands
Yes, time will tell that
You just lift your lamp

I will follow
Her on her path
Scarlet's Walk
Through the violets
Just tell your Gods for me
All debts are off this year
They're free to leave
Yes, they're free to leave

Leaving terra
Leaving terra

There was a time
When I thought that
Her destiny
Should've been mine
Big Brave Nation
But instead
Her Medicine
Now forgotten

"What do you plan to do
With all your stories"
The new sheriff said
Quite proud of his Badge

We're weaving through
Every rocket's red glare
And huddled masses
You just lift your lamp

I will follow
Her on her path
Scarlet's Walk
Through the violets
Just tell your Gods for me
All debts are off this year
They're free to leave
Yes, they're free to leave

Leaving terra
Leaving terra

If you're a thought
You will want me
To think you
And I did
And I did
