Song of Sorrow

Tori Amos

I invited you in
I invited you in
I invited you in
Yes I did
Across the timelines
You have come
Entered in

So long ago
So long ago
So long so long
Long ago
Now you
You say to me
You say to me

Sing me your
Songs of yearning
Song of sorrow
You've sung to me
For thousands of years

Sing to me
Of your longing
You're longing still
But can't you see
I am here
My dear
You're becoming
Your own woman
And whole again
Whole again
Whole again

We faced tough battles
Not all were won
Good souls cut down
Some far too young
Far too young
So may their starlight bones
Find their own way home
Own way home

Sing me your
Songs of yearning
Song of sorrow
You've sung to me
For thousands of years

Sing to me
Of your longing
You're longing still
But can't you see
I am here
My dear
You're becoming
Your own woman
And whole again
Whole again
Whole again

You say
My spear, it is sharp
So your spirit may be soft
This ancient love
You thought was lost
Thought was lost

Like 10,000
Exploding suns
This ancient love
Always is
Always was

Sing me your
Songs of yearning
Song of sorrow
You've sung to me
For thousands of years

Sing to me
Of your longing
You're longing still
But can't you see
I am here
My dear
You're becoming
Your own woman
Whole again
Whole again
Whole again

I invited you in
I invited you in
I invited you in
Yes, I did
