Gold Dust

Tori Amos - Gold Dust

Sights and sounds

Pull me back down

Another year

I was here

I was here

Whipping past

The reflecting pool

Me and you

Skipping school

And we make it up

As we go along

We make it up as we go along

You said

You raced from Langley

Pulling me underneath

A cherry blossom canopy

Do I Have

Of course I have,

Beneath my raincoat,

I have your photographs.

And the sun on your face

I'm freezing that frame

And somewhere Alfie cries

and says "Enjoy his every smile

You can see in the dark

Through the eyes of Laura Mars"

How did it go so fast

You'll say as we are looking back

And then we'll understand

We held gold dust

In our hands

Sights and sounds

Pull me back down

Another year

I was here

I was here

Gaslights

Glow in the streets (flickering past)

Twilight held us

In her palm

As we walked along

And we make it up

As we go along

We make it up as we go along

Letting names

Hang in the air

What color hair

Autumn knowingly stared

And the day that she came

I'm freezing that frame

I'm freezing that frame

And somewhere Alfie smiles

And says "Enjoy her every cry

You can see in the dark

Through the eyes of Laura Mars"

How did it go so fast

You'll say as we are looking back

And then we'll understand

We held gold dust

In our hands

In our hands
