Twinkle

[Julie]

Twinkle

sure that star can twinkle
and you're watching it do
boy so hard boy so hard
but I know a girl
twice as hard
and I'm sure
said I'm sure
she's watching it too
no matter what tie she's got in her right dresser
tied
I know she's watching that star

gonna twinkle
gonna twinkle
gonna twinkle

and last time I knew
she worked at an Abbey in Iona
she said "I killed a man T
I 've gotta stay hidden in this Abbey"
but I can see that star
when she twinkles
and she twinkles
and I sure can
that manes
I sure can

that means
I sure can
so hard
so hard

I think this song is about a connection to someone who is very far from you. It's telepathic communication. You are both watching the same star so it's almost like you can send a message to each other no matter where you are...there's that comfort that there is someone there.

Here's Tori's description of it:
"Yet the record isn't finished until Twinkle; it just wasn't finished until that song. That level of the flame, feeding the flame, because after all the stars, the fire, I had to go into that place of becoming that instead of trying to find it again."
