Rose Dover - Tori Amos

If you see Rose Dover

That’s her secret name

She would meet 3 others

To keep the forest safe

She said, «My reality

Got soon called make believe

Imagination’s funeral

Killed by the teenage me»

You don’t have to throw it away

Throw being a kid away

Just because you’re growing up faster everyday

You, you don’t have to throw it all away

You don’t have to throw it all away

There’s a way

I’ve been thinking lately it’s not a permanent si-si-situation

Just a phase that she’s in

I’ve been thinking lately, I’ve been thinking lately

It’s not permanent

A scattering of birds

Above her head

A scattering of birds

That whisper to her

You don’t have to throw it away

Throw being a kid away

Just because you’re growing up faster everyday

You, you don’t have to throw it all away

There’s a way

Happy was Rose Dover

Speaking badger, fawn, rabbit

Behind the lumberjacks

Pondering the dilemmas

At the Redwood conference

She cries, «My reality

Is now called make believe

Imagination’s funeral

Killed by the teenage me»

You don’t have to throw it away

Throw being a kid away

Just because you’re growing up faster everyday

You, you don’t have to throw it all away

You don’t have to throw it all away

And as you rise, a rose you will forever stay
