China - Tori Amos

China, all the way to New York

I can feel the distance getting close

You’re right next to me, but I need an airplane

I can feel the distance as you breathe

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you

How can I when you build the Great Wall around you?

In your eyes I saw a future together

Oh, you just look away in the distance

China decorates our table

Funny how the cracks don’t seem to show

Pour the wine, dear, you say we’ll take a holiday

But we never can agree on where to go

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you

How can I when you build the Great Wall around you?

In your eyes I saw a future together

Oh, you just look away in the distance

China all the way to New York

Maybe you got lost in Mexico

You’re right next to me, I think that you can hear me

Funny how the distance learns to grow

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you

How can I when you build the Great Wall around you?

I can feel the distance

I can feel the distance

I can feel the distance getting close
