Tori Amos - Dolphin Song lyrics

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
Songlines 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
