china
written and performed by 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
but 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
but 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
