Baltimore Lyrics

In 1980 Tori, still Myra Ellen, released "Baltimore" on the MEA label. It was a private pressing for family and friends. I wasn't going to list these because she was young and these aren't up to the current Tori Amos standard, but I do like "Walking With You" so I thought it should be up.

Baltimore
Ellen Amos

It's to nice to live here.
I'm glad this is my home.
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street.
It's someplace to call my own.
It's all kinds of people,
Familiar places,
Smiling faces.
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian.
But the birds are the best,
The best of Baltimore.

We like it here in Baltimore.
There's so much love in Baltimore.
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land.
In Baltimore, love is what you'll find.
So stop and take the time.
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind.
We like it here in Baltimore.
There's so much love in Baltimore.
We're working hand in hand
To make this place a better land.
In Baltimore, love is what you'll find.
So stop and take the time
To enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore.
The sun sets across the bay.
I'm glad I spent my day
In a working American city
With all the people who make it that way.
It's time to jump in the back seat
For Thirty-third Street,
Knowin' I'll be watchin' those birds go,
Watchin' Weaver's show.

We like it here in Baltimore.
There's so much love in Baltimore.
We're working hand in hand
To make this place a better land.
In Baltimore, love is what you'll find,
So stop and take the time.
'Cause I've got Oriole baseball on my mind.

Walking With You
Ellen Amos

Every night I sit alone,
Waiting to see you at my door,
Arriving at the usual time,
Waiting to share your love with mine.

Well, I've waited a lifetime just to find you.
But you have to be leaving.
Success is your seeking.
Then in a few months, you can come home to me.
It's the job that you need.
It's the school that you have to complete.
You just have to go on with your days.

But I'll be waiting right here, as I am,
But, before you leave,
Make me a promise I'll need you to keep
Remember me while you're away.
Think of me when you're alone.
In everything that I do,
I do it in twos,
'Cause I'll always be walking with you.
Remember me while you're away.
Think of me when you're alone.
In everything that I do,
I do it in twos,
'Cause I'll always be walking with you
Always be walking with you
Always be walking with you.

Facing another empty evening
Lying alone here, in my bed.
You keep my mind from my job,
But you lead my life with love.
You hold my chain up high.
Your love shines through my eyes.
You're soul works by my side,
Keeping this body alive.
As I run to catch the bus,
I get a strange look or two,
'Cause instead of just buyin' a ticket for me,
I also buy a ticket for you.
Now, some people say I'm crazy,
But it's the only way not to feel blue.
Cause in everything that I do,
I do it in twos,
'Cause I'll always be walking you
I'll always be
Always be
Always be
Always be

I'll always be walking with you
Remember me while you're away.
Think of me when you're alone.
In everything that I do,
I do it in twos,
'Cause I'll always be walking with you
Always be walking with you
Always be walking
With you.

A Happy Day
Camilla Wharton and Ellen Amos

It's a happy day,
For the water bugs have melt away.
Not a bird is sitting in its tree.
Not a he, she, it or me.
It's a happy day.
Letter gate has sprung away,
Taking all the floods to sea,
Leaving Uncle Sam and he.
He was an air-force man,
Flyin' in all the news.
She was his only queen.
Nothing really left to lose.
Yes, he was an air-force man,
Flyin' in all the news.
She was his only queen.
Nothing really left to lose.

It's a happy day,
For the world has come to stay.
Not a creature sleeps today.
The world will not go away.

It's a happy day.
Let us dream and sleep tonight
On the world in its hide,
'Cause I need top top find.
Yes, he was an air-force man,
Flyin' in all the news.
She was his only queen.
Nothin' really left to lose.
She was his only girl.
She called his Pop Crackle.
He was her only pearl,
Flying out of Tanger Sound.

It's a happy day.
We are here to gather to stay.
Not a person will keep us away.
Our life is the greatest today.

It's a happy day.
This could go on all night.
Let us bed by bright moonlight,
And have a good, good, good night.

When Space Dog decided to take down "Way Beyond the Pale" he said I could take these lyrics from his page. He had it very well done (better than I'd had mine), so thanks Space Dog for letting me post all your hard work. Your site will be missed...
