Ribbons Undone — Tori Amos

It is her time it is her time Watch her run with ribbons undone

She's a rose in a lily's cloak She can hide her charms It is her right there will be time To chase the sun with ribbons undone

She runs like a fire does Just picking up daises Comes in for a landing A pure flash of lightening Past alice blue blossoms You follow her laughter And then she'll surprise you Arms filled with lavender

Yes my little pony is growing up fast She corrects me and says "You mean a thoroughbred" A look in her eyes says the battle's beginning From school she comes home and cries I don't want to grow up Mom at last not tonight

You're a girl Rising from a shell Running through spring With summer's hand in reach now It is your time It is your time So just run with ribbons undone It is your time yes my angel It is your time So just run with ribbons undone

Run run darlin'
