roosterspur bridge

tori amos’un american doll posse albumunde yer alan 16. $arkısı.

somewhere down past roosterspur bridge
perhaps just a trick of the light
i thought i heard the sweetest guitar
was it a rock-and-roll jesus
sometimes i think
i think i understand the fear in the boy
the fire in the man
sometimes i watch the wonder in your eyes
that and you leaving
i have memorized
that and you leaving
i have memorized
drove all night
through sliding rock falls
thinking i’d find
something that we lost
can’t remember when you stopped laughing
or when i stopped wanting to live
sometimes i think
i think i understand the fear in the boy
the fire in the man
sometimes i watch the wonder in your eyes
that and you leaving
i have memorized
do you even see me now
do you think of us still
do i always rip things up
before our day’s deliverance
on roosterspur bridge
sometimes i think
i think i understand the fear in the boy
the fire in the man
sometimes i watch the wonder in your eyes
that and you leaving
i have memorized
that and you leaving
that and you leaving
i have memorized

albümdeki en sert şarkı bu olsa gerek. sözler, dinleyeni yerden yere vurmakla kalmıyor; hayatına dair birçok anı ile yüzleşmesini de sağlıyor.

"sometimes i think i understand the fear in the boy
the fire in the man
sometimes i watch the wonder in your eyes
that and you leaving
i have memorized"

diyerek de beni benden almayı başarmıştır.
