Amos, Tori - Sleeps With Butterflies Lyrics






Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy

Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere

I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy

  1. L.... E....

    Reflorescer...

  2. L.... E....

    Em paz.

  3. E.... C....

    I love you

  4. L.... K....

    Здесь приятно посмотреть, сейчас же эти очки и лицо после пластики ужасны, только слушать остается теперь:)

  5. L.... M....

    fuk iruru

  6. J.... T....

    She's pure magic... And this epitomizes her unique and immeasurable gifts. Saw her and Ben Folds double headlining live years ago... Phenomenal! This became my anthem years ago... Thank you, T.

  7. a.... d....

    Beautiful - what a gift from such a gifted woman.

  8. W.... ....

    What a sweet voice.

  9. M.... M....

    she is so unique...and when i try to describe her i get stuck with words...i guess all the best is unexplainable with words...

  10. A.... ....

    2019?here

  11. I.... W....

    God i finally found this song after trying so many keyword on search button! Since i forgot the title and only remember the intro and the rhythm. I like her accent anyway. The way she pronounce every word. So cute.

  12. T.... R....

    One of the first songs with an exclusive digital release back in the day. I remember using my horrible dial up connection to see this before anyone else. Beautiful, mournful, song.

  13. W.... ....

    Once again, the truth comes from the mouth of love...

  14. S.... C....

    2019 ❤️

  15. L.... L....

    💗💗💗

  16. G.... B....

    I really really adore this song now

  17. R.... A....

    Listening in 2019!! I super love this song.

    R.... A....

    Ruth Atienza Tori is such an idol isn't she, i am one of her few fans from indonesia, I wish she would come here one day and perform here.

    She is such a big inspiration for me and my music

  18. L.... S....

    Nice song 😀

  19. D.... H....

    Gran tema y Rica la Tori

  20. M.... T....

    Bu mükemmel şarkının izlenme beğenilme oranı şaka gibi. Sanırım bayağı azınlıkta kaliteli şarkı dinleyenler.

  21. M.... F....

    I forgot about this song and I think it’s been more than 5 years since I last listened to it and then spotify recommends it and now I’m here 😂

  22. S.... ....

    She deserves more recognition. Such a unique song brimming with sentiment

  23. S.... W....

    dark fina

  24. N.... N....

    The intro sounds kinda like the one by coldplays' "trouble" right?

  25. U.... G....

    Still listening in 2018! :)
    Deserves way more than 222,795 views, but sort of happy at the same time that it is that

  26. r.... i....

    It's been 20 years...fiuhh im getting old 😔😔

  27. C.... E....

    great tune shit video

  28. J.... A....

    I love this song played it so much as a young adult

  29. 6.... ....

    I really liked the Beekeeper and I'm *so* glad I'm not the only one who did and still does, considering the major backlash it got. Such a well-written, delicate, intimate record.

    6.... ....

    Backlash?

  30. d.... m....

    I LOVE YOU BETH- ALWAYS !!!!!!

  31. M.... U....

    fly then boy

  32. c.... m....

    why doest she have a french accent in this video if she's an american?

  33. M.... R....

    She has an angelic voice!!!!💞😍💜 I LOVE her so much!! 💞😍💜

  34. K.... A....

    194.000 views ? This song ? Really ?

  35. C.... ....

    Way over produced. I really wish that people would keep to their roots. If it bores the listeners, then they are true fans... And, most importantly, it proves that the artist isn't a sellout.

  36. B.... E....

    She is not very famous here in Indonesia, but I am fan of her. This title is one of her best and is on my mp3 list for so long.

    B.... E....

    Yep, and to be honest I only know this song and 1000 oceans. Great songs.

    B.... E....

    One of the most requested song on prambors radio back in 2000

    B.... E....

    Sup, salam

    B.... E....

    Salaaam...Indonesia di sini!

    B.... E....

    Aku juga suka dia

  37. r.... d....

    Memories flood whenever I hear this song.

  38. M.... S....

    daaaaaa !!! aduhohohrrroooohhh

  39. r.... ....

    I love this song

  40. S.... B....

    nostalgia! ❤️

  41. T.... S....

    beeYouteefull song

  42. D.... V....

    12 people have never slept with a butterfly.

  43. N.... V....

    thanks for the lovely song and introducing Aya Kato :)

  44. J.... A....

    ....I can't love this song more. Reminds me of me 20 years ago...a total naive boy, dreaming of the future...living in the past...floating through the Universe. always on the clouds. "siempre con Pájaros en la Cabeza" : )

    J.... A....

    Jorge Amaya same here

  45. J.... J....

    Capitano ♥

    Sade is the Goddess

  54. A.... A....

    Por fin lo encontré!!! este tema hace años que buscaba,solo me acordaba imágenes del video clip y el tema pero, no el titulo ni quien cantaba, este tema me acuerdo que sonó bastante a principios del 2005.

  55. p.... w....

    i say it over and over TORIs music is magic !!!!!!

  56. R.... N....

    There are too many misheard in this song, so as i thought, that it was a song of an asian singer.

  57. W.... ....

    Still hard, moving forward without you...

  58. o.... d....

    I don't hold on to the tail of your kite ❤

  59. K.... C....

    Each love in my life since the very first in the 90's, has had a Tori song. This one I knew would hurt but it was needed and enjoyed.

    K.... C....

    Im sorry

  60. C.... V....

    known this song for a decade now and still no lady singer can create this kind of music. I'm a fan of metal music and I can't deny that I feel very mellow when I listen to this.

    C.... V....

    Are you expecting someone else to create something similar? Impossible. That is what makes an artist special: you can't repeat them.

    C.... V....

    Same here bro....

    C.... V....

    Same here

    C.... V....

    metal? eww

  61. C.... G....

    why do i really love this one🙂

    C.... G....

    cuz u have good taste!!! 😃

  62. A.... L....

    Tori Amos looks and sounds like Jinkx Monsoon

  63. S.... N....

    so beautiful

  64. A.... j....

    Te amo Tori!

  65. C.... s....

    Love you Tori

  66. S.... N....

    Finally i know what the title is

  67. n.... ....

    Fantastic Artist, love her music

  68. c.... ....

    I've always adored The Beekeeper album - it's great to see her happy and contented with life. I don't want her to remain 1992 angsty Tori forever - we have those songs and we love them.....as for the ongoing surgery argument - I think this video was the start of work or whatever she's had. She looked like she overdid the botox or whatever during Doll Posse through to Gold Dust.....but for the Unrepentant Geradlines album it's the best she's looked since this video. I think she laid off the poison

    c.... ....

    prbsnoop1974 this isn't a happy album at all

    c.... ....

    Well clearly - with songs like Toast, The Beekeeper, The Power of Orange Knickers.Parasol, Mother Revolution....it would be quicker to list the happy songs....I meant the production is subtler, lighter, deceptively upbeat - the songs are there but some fans were put off by "happier sound"..... I think being a Mother softened her sound but not her fire

  69. p.... ....

    I really love the lyrics, beautifully written.

  70. R.... M....

    Airplanes
    Take you away again
    Are you flying
    Above where we live
    Then I look up a glare in my eyes
    Are you having regrets about last night
    I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
    So then I dove in
    Is there trouble ahead
    For you the acrobat
    I won't push you unless you have a net

    You say the word
    You know I will find you
    Or if you need some time
    I don't mind
    I don't hold on
    To the tail of your kite
    I'm not like the girls that you've known
    But I believe I'm worth coming home to
    Kiss away night
    This girl only sleeps with butterflies
    With butterflies
    So go on and fly then boy

    Balloons
    Look good from on the ground
    I fear with pins and needles around
    We may fall then stumble
    Upon a carousel
    It could take us anywhere

    I'm not like the girls that you've known
    But I believe I'm worth coming home to
    Kiss away night

    With butterflies
    With butterflies
    So go on and fly boy

    pasti ado

  71. J.... P....

    Beautiful

  72. L.... T....

    soulful song

  73. J.... E....

    love dis song😍😍😍😍

  74. W.... P....

    thanks for share this. what a memories!! :)

  75. S.... A....

    Beautiful song❤

  76. i.... ....

    i got emotional during this video because i thought of how beautifully tori would have aged if she didnt go through all these surgeries

    i.... ....

    +itisthefear Absolutely agree. She succumbed to the lure of the Cornflake Girls :/

    i.... ....

    +itisthefear Yeah I know. I wouldn't judge unless I'd walked in the shoes- but yeah, disappointing.

    i.... ....

    +Paul Belodeau I read that she had something with her jaw all life and around Beekeper era had to fix it, because it was getting hard to live with it

    i.... ....

    That's fine, but I can't imagine the gallons of botox that followed were necessary. :(

    I always imagined that she'd age quite well. :/

    i.... ....

    Amanda Deeda I think it was shocking to us because we always thought she was a Joni or a Kate, not a Madonna. IOW, why pull a pop star move if you're an Indy artist?

  77. �.... K....

    Beautiful! ♥♥

  78. E.... S....

    So beautiful! I am buying this album for sure!

  79. B.... R....

    Talking 'bout the National Acrobat, I need her to sleep with the butterfly inside. It's a cocoon in the beginning of its creation, she goes by the name of Joan Rose.

    Tell Juliette Klaus I love her, we don't find the need of writing more.

  80. f.... f....

    What is this song actually about?

    f.... f....

    fridge freezer standing by her significant other even when he doesn't do that in return

  81. F.... M....

    ♥ (missing mom) :(

    F.... M....

    +Frantz Merisier My mother loves this song, too.

  82. E.... M....

    i really love this song so much <3

  83. V.... L....

    i dont hold on to the tail of you kite....

  84. O.... V....

    I've always loved this song.

  85. D.... P....

    from rhino? this is not a sony song!?

    D.... P....

    @linktothepresent yep... but this song is not in tales! just in The Beekeper from sony

    D.... P....

    +Daniele “unprodigalson” Passeri it was from the Sony years yes, however Tori since signed a catalog deal with Rhino with resulted in them re-releaseing the first 2 albums and im guess they have to rights to release all her older material just guessing tho !

    Beautiful....
