Snow Cherries From France Lyrics - Tales Of A Librarian - Tori Amos

I knew a boy who would not share his bike 

Oh, but he let me go sailing 

I swore that I could survive any storm 

Oh, then he let me go 

"Can you launch rockets from here?" 

Boy, I've done it for years, right over my head 

And when I promised my hand 

He promised me back snow cherries from France 

All that summer we travelled the world 

Never leaving his own back garden 

Girls, I didn't know just what it could be 

Oh, but he let me go sailing

You question me, "Can you ride anything?" 

Lord, do you mean like your mood swings? 

Invaders and traders with the best intentions 

May convince you to go 

"They look like pirates from here" 

Boy, I've been one for years, just keeping my head 

And when I promised my hand 

You promised me back snow cherries from France 

All that summer we travelled the world 

Never leaving his own back garden 

Girls, I didn't know just what it could be 

Oh, but he let me go sailing 

And then one day he said, "Girl, it's been nice 

Oh, but I have to go sailing" 

With cinnamon lips that did not match his eyes 

Oh, then he let me go
