Tori Amos - Carry

A song from Tori Amos' new record, Night Of Hunters, and apparently it's the single too. Lovely song, not so great video. Simple lyrics but powerful feeling behind them. I think I love this already.




Love, hold my hand
Help me see with the dawn
That those that have left
Are not gone


But they carry on
As stars looking down
As nature's sons and daughters
Of the heavens


You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the procession of the mighty stars
Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
Here I will carry, carry, carry you
Forever


You have touched my life
And so that now cathedrals of sound
Are singing
Are singing


The waves have come
To walk with you
To where you will live
In the land of yore
Land of yore


You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the procession of the mighty stars
Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
Here I will carry, carry, carry you
Forever
