"Gold Dust" by Tori Amos

This is one of my favorite songs on Tori Amos' album, "Scarlet's Walk". Her lyrics speak volumes to me...

Gold Dust

Sights and Sounds pull me back down another year
I WAS HERE I WAS HERE
Whipping past the reflecting pool me + 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
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."
