Maids Of Elfen-Mere - Tori Amos

The Maids of Elfen-mere

Watch over the boy with chestnut hair

And as he dreams about his love for them

They make a vow to protect him

Spinning their song

Sung by a happy corpse

Foreseeing

A pretty girl drawing

Her arrow

But what they want to know

Will she bring him

True love or sorrow?

The Maids of Elfen-mere

Don’t know that the boy with chestnut hair

Winds back the clock at the 11th bell

Hoping to follow them through the veil

Spinning their song

Sung by a happy corpse

Foreseeing

A pretty girl drawing

Her arrow

But what they want to know

Will the Queen of Eastland

Or the Wastelands be waking?

The Maids

The Maids
