Letra Silent all these years de Tori Amos

Excuse me but can I be you for awhile,
My dog won´t bite if you sit real still,
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin´ at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that

But what if I´m a mermaid, in these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don´t care ´cause
Sometimes, I said sometimes
I hear my voice and it´s been here
Silent all these years

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What´s so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How´s that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
I think there´s a heaven once the screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it´s enough
To get us there ´cause...

What if I´m a mermaid in these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don´t care ´cause
Sometimes, I said sometimes
I hear my voice and it´s been here
Silent all these -

Years go by, will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by if I´m stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my hand
Years go by, will I choke on my tears
´Til finally there is nothing left
One more casualty you know
We´re too easy easy easy...

Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let´s hear what you think of me now
And baby don´t look up, the sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
It´s your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin´ at you
You take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them...

But what if I´m a mermaid, in these jeans of yours
With her name still on it
Hey but I don´t care ´cause
Sometimes, I said sometimes
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice and it´s been here
Silent all these years

I´ve been here
Silent all these years
Silent
All these
Silent all these years
