We Will Never Forget

Tori Amos has a song called "I Can't See New York" and I absolutely love it. It evokes so many emotions in me, so in observance of 9/11, I thought I would post it today for those who have not heard it. xo

From here no lines are drawn
From here no lands are owned
13,000 and holding
Swallowed in the purring of her engines
Tracking the beacon here
Is there a signal there?
On the other side
On the other side

What do they mean? Side of what things?

And you said
And you did
You said you would find me here
You said you would find me even in death
And you said
You said you'd find me
But...

I can't see New York as I'm circling down through white cloud falling out
and I know his lips are warm but I can't seem to find my way out...my way out

I can't see New York as I'm circling down through white cloud falling out
and I know his lips are warm but I can't seem to find my way out...my way out
of this hunting ground

From here crystal meth in meters of millions
In the end all we have, soul blueprint.
Did we get lost in it?
Do we conduct a search for this?

From the other side
From the other side
What do you mean? Side of what things?

And you said
And you did
You said you would find me here
You said you would find me even in death
And you said
You said you'd find me
But...

I can't see New York as I'm circling down through white cloud falling out
and I know his lips are warm but I can't seem to find my way out...my way out

I can't see New York though I'm circling down through white cloud falling out
and I know your lips are warm but I can't seem to find my way out...my way out of your hunting ground

You again
It's you again
I can't see
I can't see
New York
from the other side
from the other side

I Hum
from the other side
