TORI AMOS - Gold Dust lyrics

rate me

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 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 street

(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

(auburn crimson)

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
