Tori Amos - China Lyrics






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 the future
Together 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 the future
Together 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
In your eyes I saw the future
Together you just look away in the distance

I can feel the distance
I can feel the distance
I can feel the distance getting close

  21. L.... ....

    This video reminds me of the fake videos used as backgrounds in Asian karaoke rooms when the original song is not available :D

  22. B.... R....

    Am i the only one who loves her teeth?

    B.... R....

    It's all of her fans

    B.... R....

    Nope no the only one, it's like a semi vampiric rabbit..

  23. J.... D....

    Probably Tori's best video. Simplicity usually wins out over complexity.

  24. S.... B....

    Music beautiful the woman beautiful wow mmm

  25. S.... W....

    I just learned how to play China last night. She came to me..and each time she appeared ...she revealed a little bit more of herself to me..each time. So when i sit down at my piano..my keyboard..lol...she's much much bigger than she looks. She has the depth of a concert piano🎹 i found her at a thrift store for 5 dollars...yeah..five bucks..crazy..but..a blessing to me...because she had a crack..which makes her even more beautiful and so..we take care of one another..It's always a different conversation. China is..so very lovely..and delicate..quiet..yet so very quietly profound...and so...China saved my life last night..and for this..i am eternally thankful🌺i love you China✨
    Tori...you always have been ..and forever will be my muse..my teacher..the mirror i gaze into back into myself..my heart💖..my friend❤
    I love you Tori🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

  42. D.... ....

    A dry stone wall piano. I have got to have that in my garden, then I can pretend I know how to play one. :-)

  43. D.... Y....

    Trump brought me here...

    D.... Y....

    /groan🙂

    D.... Y....

    Ugh well said "groan"

    D.... Y....

    Can't stand Trump,but that made me chuckle.

  44. h.... l....

    This song continues sounds beautiful... Tori.... The best...<3

  45. B.... ....

    This is the first time I've seen this video and it almost ruined the song for me.

  46. s.... ....

    Anyone else notice a very important verse of the song is missing in this version, "China decorates or table, funny how the cracks don't seem to show. Pour the wine dear; you say week take a holiday, but we never can agree on where to go..."

    s.... ....

    Yeah most of the early videos have a radio edit for time. Same in 'Winter' my favorite verse was cut.

    s.... ....

    ¡lolo! right, table and drinks... xinese r heavy drinkers and love to invite foreigners for drinks, right? om mari pe mehung/.//¿? //pro di onu sos philosophies¿?

    s.... ....

    tsering gompo chinese eats dogs

    s.... ....

    shepdog069 really

  47. Y.... ....

    ...czasem myślę, że chcesz, abym cię dotknęła
    ale jak mam to zrobić, kiedy budujesz wielką ścianę dookoła siebie?

  48. I.... ....

    Not good for your heart when your marriage is on the rocks. 💔💧

    I.... ....

    Know that feels man!Hope springs eternal!

  49. A.... A....

    I just moved to China to teach English...but I listened to this song for many years...even more powerful now. love you Tori

    A.... A....

    A.J.'s Adventures in Asia do you live in Yulin?

  50. C.... ....

    she looks strangely older in this vid

    C.... ....

    She looks like Scarlet in here..

  51. J.... L....

    My favorite performance of this tune is from PBS Soundstage circa 2003. Gorgeous. A+

  52. E.... J....

    ....... I can feel my heartbreaking all over again........ oh awe...

  53. z.... s....

    my love 💕

  54. c.... ....

    Considering my last name is China I'll presume this song is about me

  55. C.... m....

    Tori has always been wonderful and real I really relate on similar situations....

  56. M.... ....

    Wow, how have I never seen this before?!

  57. M.... L....

    This woman's music is supernatural.

    M.... L....

    Agreed!! 100%!!

    M.... L....

    Yes, it is. Imagine if she never came along, we would miss out on her loveliness songs and piano playing.

    M.... L....

    She has abilities some would consider unatural

    M.... L....

    In a bad way

  58. g.... ....

    One of my all time favorite songs ever! So beautiful and full of emotion it makes me cry each time I listen to it!

    g.... ....

    It makes me cry too. I love Tori and have for years. I just can't seem to get into her new stuff tho

  59. V.... ....

    2:36 Incredible! she even plays the piano with the rocks :D

  60. R.... Z....

    Words cannot express the beauty contained in this song.

    R.... Z....

    +Francisco Partida That's what a song is. Words and music. The videos just ruin the experience. There was a time when people would purchase something called a "Hi Fi system" and just sit and listen to music. It was magic, and it's all but gone now in today's world. Sad.

    R.... Z....

    +Rusty Z I cannot put it any better.

    R.... Z....

    Rusty Z not tonight Josephine torri. Amos

  61. S.... S....

    I miss my wife

    S.... S....

    +Shamus St Claire Me too. Mine split over a year ago. Life hasn't been right since.

    S.... S....

    I miss Tori's old face.

    S.... S....

    Joe Smith why?

    S.... S....

    @Rusty Z Sorry to hear that man

    S.... S....

    Same here.

  62. o.... f....

    I almost forgot how beautiful this video was.

  63. M.... M....

    It used to be my top favourite song by Tori Amos back in 1992 and later on... Well, maybe it is still this one.... It made me dream so much for so long... I've always loved John Philip Shenale's string orchestrations too. A real pity she didn't worked with him on her latest (and great) album. He would have enhanced most of those splendid songs.

  64. T.... F....

    What out of this world creativity! Gorgeous Tori, playing a stone piano. So elegant! I wish more of today's modern videos could take a lesson and incorporate calm, still beauty in its images, illuminating spaces within the human soul... Much more than relying on flash and choppy editing.

  65. Q.... L....

    <3 Beautiful <3

  66. I.... A....

    It reminds me of the nice time spent between London and Cheltenham some years ago. In my dearest grandmother's land! England I <3 U

  67. J.... S....

    I was an emotional mess when she played this in NYC the other night. Reminds me of my difficult High School years...

  68. S.... ....

    a true peace of heart

  69. i.... ....

    I didn't know there was a video for this song

  70. K.... M....

    Fantastic.

  71. S.... U....

    she sure is one sea creature you'd like to run into 

  72. y.... ....

    i have that exact camouflage rocks spandex bodysuit

    y.... ....

    @yap The print looks more like the broken pieces......

    y.... ....

    +yap lol

    y.... ....

    yap that looks ugly on your body

    y.... ....

    Dont we all

  73. �.... �....

    Хороший голос

  74. C.... R....

    i like her voice.
