Swim to New York State - Tori Amos

I’d swim to New York State

From the Cornish coast of England

For even just a day

We’ll meet at that café

You’ll say it hurt too much to stay

And so you left the Cornish coast of England

And a love who was not ready for this

To dive with you to where the sea-maids live

I’ll say that is when I (I had to face)

Life just wasn’t the same (And how you gave and you gave)

I’ll ask will you come back?

To the Cornish coast of England

There’s a rock pool we can dive in and that now

And that now I understand

You gave everything (You gave the love)

You made the difference you gave (You gav the love)

You gave verything (You gave the love)

While I was looking away (You gave and you gave)

(And you gave and you gave)

(And you gave and you gave)

Selfless without blame

Your triumph

Abandoned in the rain

And you gave and you gave

And you gave and you gave

And you gave and then still you gave

I’d swim from New York State

To the Cornish coast of England

I found a cave we can dive in

If only for the day

If only for the day
