Take Me with You - Tori Amos

In and out on this same path that I’ve followed for years

Can’t I look around and ask how could we still end out up here?

I can’t just hold tight, wait for them to cut us to ribbons

If the sharpest thing where you come is a blade of grass

Oh take me with you, I don’t need shoes to follow

Bare feet are running with you, somewhere a rainbow ends, my dear

These injuries, don’t you think we need a new referee?

I can’t let the ball drop, boy, I need some interference to shut them up

Oh take me with you, I don’t need shoes to follow

Bare feet are running with you, somewhere the rainbow ends, my dear

Oh take me with you, chase rabbits into their burrow

Bare feet are running with you, today even the rain can cut me up

Tears turn to steel

And the wound never heals

In the darkness of November

Well, the witch is in the tower

And the snake’s in the bower

And the hunt goes on forever

Now the stake is there to burn

My father’s robe is torn

Between cross and mother

With the blood on your hands

Come on, what you doing?

I am fed up with this questioning

Here

Oh take me with you, I don’t need shoes to follow

Bare feet are running with you, somewhere the rainbow ends, my dear

Oh take me with you, chase rabbits into their burrow

Bare feet are running with you, today, today

Oh take me with you, I don’t need shoes to follow

Bare feet are running with you, today even the rain

Even the rain

Even the rain

Can cut me up

Take me with you

Take me with you
