Tori Amos - Climb lyrics

"Climb over the church wall" he said "You can feed the koi in the pond Climb over the church wall in your Sunday dress Be sure to feed the koi in the pond" It's a long long climb going back in time All of me wants to be... believe That the angels will find me Saint Veronica All of me wants to be... believe That somehow you will save me Saint Veronica He said "Kneel before your judges in reverence Your penance for the woman you'll become You knew if you talked there'd be a consequence Your sentence for the woman you'll become" Ten days of hell in Satan's cell All of me wants to be... believe That the angels will find me Saint Veronica All of me wants to be... believe That somehow you will save me Saint Veronica Dream of dimensions Then cross through the veil to them Wrap yourself in linen holding Jesus close Calling Saint Calling Saint Saint Veronica "Climb out of the belly of the beast" she said "Become a witness out of the abyss The temple of the soul will have to heal the flesh Only when you're whole can you forgive But it's a long long climb It's a long long climb"
