Tori Amos - Dolphin Song Lyrics

Men you 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
Boy you water spirit

Now that know,
I know the lengths that you’d go
to chase the roughest tide
It’s right behind me
Yes I know the lengths that you’d go
to bring the roughest tide in.
Small like dolphins
Ah ha
Small like dolphins
Ah ha

I sought shelter in our child’s room
She and me against the world,
safe in our cocoon
You raced a giant rollerskate
And so 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 I know,
I know the lengths that you’d go
To bring the roughest tide
It’s right behind me
Yes I know,
I know the lengths that you’d go
To bring the roughest tide
Small like dolphins
Ah ha
Small like dolphins
Ah ha

Men you bring in your fishing nets
I have been marred 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.
Small like dolphins
Ah ha
Small like dolphins
Ah ha
