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 a drink

And boy, I know, I know that you burn
For your water spirit

Now that I know, I know the lengths that you'd go
(Now that I know)
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
Song lines will guide our way"

And boy, I know, I know that you burn
For your water spirit

Now that I know, I know the lengths that you'd go

(Now that I know)
To bring the roughest tide that's right behind me
Yes, I know, I know the lengths that you'd go
(Now that I know)
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 say that, 'Boy, I feel, I feel that you burn
For your water girl'

Now that I know, I know the lengths that you'd go
(Now that I know)
To bring the tide that's racing right behind me
Yes, I know, I know the lengths that you'd go
(Now that I know)
To bring the roughest tide in
Smooth like dolphin, smooth like dolphin
Smooth like dolphin, smooth like dolphin
