Garlands by Tori Amos Lyrics

[Interlude]

[Verse 1]
"The Winged Painter is on uptown," I said
"Will you meet me to go, to go, to go?"
Washington Square, I'm racing there
To get you at noon, oh, the nocturne noon

[Verse 2]
Isabella on the way there stops me
"I can't stay today"
I'm off in flight towards another light, rest, youth
Washington Square, I meet you there and we go

[Pre-Chorus]
And he's on the run, he's on the run
From this walking greeting card
And Chloe's kiss, the wolf pit, the wine harvest
And Phileda's Lesson: we're not his possession

[Chorus]
In Winter, trampled flowers
In Winter, lovers
[Post-Chorus]
Circus, these garlands, the blue pirouette
The marriage, the mimosas, black sun over Paris
These garlands, the little swallow
St. Paul from the window, the half-open window

[Verse 3]
Eve incurs God's displeasure, displeasure
Passion, Odysseus, and Penelope
Ulysses and Penelope
The festival in Hell

[Pre-Chorus]
And he's on the run, he's on the run
From this walking greeting card
And Chloe's kiss, the wolf pit, the wine harvest
And Phileda's Lesson: we're not your possession

[Chorus]
In Winter, lovers
In Winter, flowers, trampled flowers
Lovers, bay of angels
We're lovers

[Post-Chorus]
Circus, these garlands, the blue pirouette
The marriage, the mimosas, black sun over Paris
These garlands, the little swallow
St. Paul from the window, the half-open window
[Outro]
In Winter
The Winged Painter, the Winged Painter
Washington Square, let's go see "A Day In May"
From The Winged Painter
