A Sorta Fairytale - Tori Amos

on my way up north

up on the ventura

i pulled back the hood

and i was talking to you

and i knew then it would be a life long thing

but i didn’t know that we we could break a silver lining

and i’m so sad like a good book

i can’t put this day back

a sorta fairytale with you

a sorta fairytale with you

things you said that day

up on the 101

the girl had come undone

i tried to downplay it with a bet about us you said that-you'd take it as long as i could

i could not erase it and i’m so sad like a good book

i can’t put this day back

a sorta fairytale with you

a sorta fairytale with you

and i ride along side

and i rode along side

you then

and i rode along side

till you lost me there

in the open road

and i rode along side

till the honey spread

itself so thin

for me to break your bread

for me to take your word

i had to steal it and i’m so sad like a good book

i can’t put this day back

a sorta fairytale with you

a sorta fairytale with you

i could pick back up whenever i feel

down new mexico way

something about the open road

i knew that he was

looking for some indian blood and

find a little in you find a little

in me we may be on this road but

we’re just impostors

in this country you know

so we go along and we said

we’d fake it feel better with

oliver stone till i almost smacked him —

seemed right that night and

i don’t know what takes hold

out there in the desert cold

these guys think they must

try and just get over on us and i’m so sad like a good book

i can’t put this day back

a sorta fairytale with you

a sorta fairytale with you

and i was ridin' by ridin' along side

for a while till you lost me and i was ridin' by ridin' along till you lost me till you lost me in the rear view

you lost me i said

way up north i took my day

all in all was a pretty nice

day and i put the hood

right back where

you could taste heaven

perfectly

feel out the summer breeze

didn’t know when we’d be back

and i, i don’t

didn’t think

we’d end up like

like this
