Frog On My Toe - Tori Amos
Poppa I know
there's a frog on my toe
maybe I'll call him Jethro.
maybe I'll grow up to be quite as good as he,
and maybe you'll come back after you're long gone.
and Poppa I'm sure the worms have eaten you now
and Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
and now I'm pretty sure that I listened to every word
cause I still hear you telling me still
slap them boys when they're naughty
make them crawl, make you haughty
make you strong little girl
you paint them toes that reddish color
and you know one day you're gonna be bigger than a flea
you're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree
now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visit
and talk sometimes kind of like Gidget and
in funny little chants like an Indian Brave
you said we all grew fat when the white men came
but one day girl
you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
make them grow tall but have the grace
to be a lady with disgrace
you fry them 'taters and you make them with lady's hands and all
you're my poppy's baby

永遠都記得你離去的那天清晨 你無聲無息地從我的枕邊離去
你選擇回到那擁有你靈魂的人的身邊 而我 只能再回到那段令我恐懼的歲月
我連忙跑到海邊 哭喊著「請別離開我」
悲傷的淚水不斷的從我的眼中流出 無奈的我只願大海能帶走我心中的傷痛
但只見一陣陣的潮水打在岸邊 彷彿悲傷又再一陣陣的湧上心頭
