whine & dine

So when it’s early in the morning and you’re about to go even further from your love who, theoretically, is already so far from you it really doesn’t make a difference, obviously the only thing for you to do is to think of the most emo song you can possibly summon from the depths of your being and play it on repeat. (Okay so 1000 Oceans by Tori Amos isn’t playing on iTunes now – it’s currently at Watch Them Fly Sundays by the Stereophonics, but you know what I mean.)

These tears I’ve cried, I’ve cried a thousand oceans.
And if it seems I’m floating in the darkness, well,
I can’t believe that I would keep, keep you from flying.
And I would cry a thousand more if that’s what it takes to sail you home.
Sail you home. Sail you home.

I’m aware what the rules are, but you know that I will run.
You know that I will follow you.
Over Silbury hill through the solar field.
You know that I will follow you.

And if I find you, will you still remember playing at trains,
Or does this little blue ball just fade away?
Over Silbury hill through the solar field.
You know that I will follow you.
I’m aware what the rules are, but you know that I will run.
You know that I will follow you.

These tears I’ve cried, I’ve cried a thousand oceans.
And if it seems I’m floating in the darkness, well,
I can’t believe that I wouldn’t keep you from flying.
So I would cry a thousand more if that’s what it takes to sail you home.
Sail you home. Sail you home. Sail you home.

I’ll be home soon. I love you, baby.
