tori amos sort of fairy tale


on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining
and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you
things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
you said that-
you'd take it as long as i could
i could not erase it
and i'm so sad like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you
and i ride along side
and i rode along side
you then and i rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road and
i rode along side
till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
i had to steal it
and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you
i could pick back up
whenever i feel down
new mexico way something
about the open road
i knew that he was looking
for some indian blood
and find a little in you
find a little in me
we may be on this road
but we're just impostors
in this country you know
so we go along and
we said we'd fake it feel better
with oliver stone till i almost smacked him
- seemed right that night
and i don't know
what takes hold out there
in the desert cold
these guys think
they must try and
just get over on us
and i'm so sad like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you
and i was ridin' by ridin'
along side for a while
till you lost me and
i was ridin' by ridin'
along till you lost me
till you lost me
in the rear view
you lost me i said
way up north
i took my day all in all
was a pretty nice day
and i put the hood right back
where you could taste heaven perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back and i, i
don't didn't think we'd end up like like this
