Winter - Tori Amos

Winter - Tori Amos

25 november 2014
Dan kan ik het rijtje eigenlijk net zo goed meteen maar compleet maken. Deuntje 3 van de lijst waarvan ik liever gehad had dat ie niet bestond. Deuntje nummer drie, en ook deze kan ik nooit meer 'gewoon' horen. Verhoogde indertijd wel de belangstelling voor excentrieke Tori, maar specialer dan deze vond ik ze nooit meer in haar oeuvre. Mooi.
When you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as I do

Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
wipe my nose get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove

I run off where the drifts get deeper
sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice "You must learn to stand up
for yourself cause I can't always be around"

He says when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as I do
when you gonna make up your mind
cause things are gonna change so fast
all the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
you say that things change my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts
flowers competing for the sun
years go by and I'm here still waiting
withering where some snowman was
mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
but I only can see myself
skating around the truth who I am
but I know dad, the ice is getting thin

When you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as I do
when you gonna make up your mind
cause things are gonna change so fast
all the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
you say that things change my dear

Hair is grey and the fires are burning
so many dreams on the shelf
you say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself

He says when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as I do
when you gonna make up your mind
cause things are gonna change so fast
all the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
you say that things change my dear
