Mother Lyrics

Cover art for Mother lyrics by Tori Amos

This song is about a girl getting married. "He's gonna change my name, somebody leave the light on, just in, just in case i like the dancing, i can remember where i come from" To me, dancing is symbolic of being married, and she wants to make sure that if she likes the dance of being married, that they leave the door open so she can come back to visit.
