(Polish Radio 3 Interview 8/01 --)
it was on my way to santiago
when i ran into a dark beauty
she said, "i heard the news all about your friend
but it's your turn now to spend some time with me" and

sorrow has the sweetest little laugh and
sorrow is a pretty good friend to have, she said
"take off my blue dress and give it to happiness
it matches the color of her eyes at midnight

said, it matches the color of her eyes
it matches the color of her eyes
at midnight"

(NY Times Critic's Choice Interview 1/12/02 --)
oh my sweet
sweet little angel dove
the sweetest dove
that mommy loves
the sweetest girl
that i have ever known
mommy's sweet
sweet little angel girl

Tori performed this song acapella during the Polish Radio 3 Interview on August 2001 and at the NY Times Critic's Choice Interview with Ann Powers on January 12, 2002. Both versions of the lyrics were sung to the same melody.

"That's what I sing when she's...can't get to sleep and we walk around and walk around and sing. There are like four verses and it goes on forever.." (laughs)
-- Tori; Polish Radio 3 Interview, August 2001
"I'll do the little song that I do for my little one. What we do is usually, because there's no piano involved in this, usually she's -- teeth hurt or whatever. It's all that (covers face with hands, whimpers) "No, no, no, n,o no, no, no... dada." and it's like, "Dada's sleeping, you get me," and she says, "No, no, no, dada." and then anyway it's this little creature, and it's always..."
