"Dolphin Song" lyrics - TORI AMOS

TORI AMOS
"Dolphin Song"

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
