Starling - Tori Amos

Starling, you were right, I am the jealous kind

Whoever would have guessed?

Starling, now I am shut out and confined

Even within my nest

What, what does it take to make it through another day

If a feather lined with his words becomes a blade?

Starling, when he screams he screams in black and white

Just like the magpie

Shattered night then I woke

Not to a lonely lark, but to a raven’s cry

If a feather lined with his words becomes a blade

Then what, what will it take to make it through another day?

So when they play, play the song

Sing along

It could be your turn to shine

If you know the lines

Hey, what’s that you say?

«You can find, find him online

Most of the time these days»

«Is that right?»

I say

You were right, Starling
