Tori Amos - Garlands lyrics

"The Winged Painter is on uptown, " I said
"Will you meet me to go, to go, to go?"
Washington Square, I'm racing there
To get you at noon, oh, the nocturne noon

Isabella on the way there stops me
"I can't stay today"
I'm off in flight towards
Another light, rest, youth
Washington Square, I meet you there and we go

And he's on the run, he's on the run
From this walking greeting card
And Chloe's kiss, the wolf pit
The wine harvest and Phileda's Lesson: we're
Not his possession

In Winter, trampled flowers
In Winter, lovers

Circus, these garlands, the blue pirouette


The marriage, the mimosas
Black sun over Paris
These garlands, the little swallow
St paul from the window, the half-open window

Eve incurs God's displeasure, displeasure
Passion, Odysseus, and Penelope
Ulysses and Penelope the festival in Hell

And he's on the run, he's on the run
From this walking greeting card
And Chloe's kiss, the wolf pit
The wine harvest and Phileda's Lesson: we're
Not your possession

In Winter, lovers
In Winter, flowers, trampled flowers
Lovers, bay of angels we're lovers

Circus, these garlands, the blue pirouette
The marriage, the mimosas
Black sun over Paris
These garlands, the little swallow
St paul from the window, the half-open window

In Winter
The Winged Painter, the Winged Painter
Washington Square
Let's go see "A Day In May"
From The Winged Painter
