Take Me with You by Tori Amos Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In and out on this same path that I've followed for years
Can't I look around and ask how could we still end out up here?
I can't just hold tight, wait for them to cut us to ribbons
If the sharpest thing where you come is a blade of grass

[Chorus]
Oh, take me with you
I don't need shoes to follow
Bare feet are running with you
Somewhere a rainbow ends, my dear

[Verse 2]
These injuries, don't you think we need a new referee?
I can't let the ball drop, boy, I need some interference to shut them up

[Chorus]
Oh, take me with you
I don't need shoes to follow
Bare feet are running with you
Somewhere the rainbow ends, my dear
Oh, take me with you
Chase rabbits into their burrow
Bare feet are running with you
Today even the rain can cut me up
[Bridge]
Tears turn to steel and the wound never heals
In the darkness of November
Well, the witch is in the tower and the snake's in the bower
And the hunt goes on forever
Now the stake is there to burn, my father's robe is torn
Between cross and mother
With the blood on your hands, come on, what you doing?
I am fed up with this questioning

[Interlude]
Here

[Chorus]
Oh, take me with you
I don't need shoes to follow
Bare feet are running with you
Somewhere the rainbow ends, my dear
Oh, take me with you
Chase rabbits into their burrow
Bare feet are running with you
Today, today
Oh take me with you
I don't need shoes to follow
Bare feet are running with you
Today even the rain
Even the rain, even the rain
Can cut me up
[Outro]
Take me with you
Take me with you
