1000 Oceans by Tori Amos 

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 would keep, 
Keep you from flying. 
So I will cry a thousand more 
If that’s what it takes to sail you home, 
Sail you home, 
Sail you home.
