Tori on "Rose Dover" Songtext

von Tori Amos

"Rose Dover"
She hasn't taken, by any means, a long time but
I was being made aware of how, just listening just by observing,
It is difficult for teenagers to retain and be encouraged
To have an imagination instead of being forced
To deal with reality and supporting themselves,
Getting a job that will support themselves, paying those bills
And all those things are very, very important as we know
But can you do that and retain your ability to imagine? And is imagination part of reality as well? Well, I would say yes, particularly from a writer's viewpoint that in order to write, you cannot be so immersed in pragmatism and the day-to-day demands... You have to be able to dream
