Tori Amos lyrics

Purple Rain

Tori Amos played this on the harmonium
accompanied by Steve Caton on electric guitar.

Never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
you know I only want to see you laughing
only want to see you laughing in the purple rain

purple rain, purple rain
purple rain, purple rain
purple rain, purple rain
only want to see you laughing in the purple rain

I never want to be you, be your
weekend lover, baby, yes, said
I only want to be some kind of friend
you want to believe her
you just can't make up your mind
well, let me guide you through the purple rain

purple rain, purple rain
purple rain, purple rain
ahh, purple rain
only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
she said

[start loud chest voice]

I know, I know times are changing, baby
they're changing
I know, know, times are changing
well, I'm changing
yes, said
well, I'm changing

[end loud chest voice]

you oooh ooh ooh
whooo oooh ooh ooh
whooo oooh ooh ooh
I said

whooo oooh ooh ooh
whooo oooh ooh ooh

[high-pitched wailing]

whooo oooh ooh ooh
whooo oooh ooh ooh
whooo oooh ooh ooh
I said

whooo oooh ooh ooh
whooo oooh ooh ooh
whooo oooh ooh ooh

whooo oooh ooh ooh
whooo oooh ooh ooh
whooo oooh ooh ooh

[inhale]

In 1994, Tori performed Purple Rain on piano, and in 2003 she did it one time with her band.
