Gold Dust Lyrics by Tori Amos

Gold Dust Lyrics

    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
