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
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
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

Tori Amos China Comments
❤ wunderschön
I love the cinematography of this video.
Magnificant Tori Amos...one and only!
I love China!
Algorithms.
Z -○S○- was here☆
HALLOWED BE THY NAME🕆
Hello.Goodbye.
Beautiful..nothing else to say.
Anyone feels like Taylor Swift’s THE ARCHER took some notes from China? :)
I can remember when performers didn't have porcelain veneers.
Thank you China for all you've done for the world.
tori is absolutely gorgeous
I can feel the distance getting close.. powerful line
The Manic Bunny Very.
she is so , not very pretty...but, she sure can sing!
Jerry Vera-Reynolds I think Tori is beautiful
you need a mirror!
She is absolutely lovely and beautiful!
Z○S○ was here☆~
Hello.Goodbye.
I'm loving on this song more and more each time I watch this video. So beautiful Tori.
she is not very pretty ...but has a lovely voice
Can sing???? She is a one of the most GREATEST singers on the planet. How old are you? 11??
Such a Virgo
I've said it before and Iwill say it again, I want that dry stone wall piano in my garden.
Just discovered her today and I already love her.
best discovery for life
It just happened the same to me this week, only regret is not having heard her sooner!
@Isabel Palomares You're in for a ride :)
This is the Tori Amos that I will forever love!
This is the judge denning song lol
This video reminds me of the fake videos used as backgrounds in Asian karaoke rooms when the original song is not available :D
Am i the only one who loves her teeth?
It's all of her fans
Nope no the only one, it's like a semi vampiric rabbit..
Probably Tori's best video. Simplicity usually wins out over complexity.
Music beautiful the woman beautiful wow mmm
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🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Where do this white Satanic creature gets off talking about ''México"?
Gorgeous xx
It shoud be a crime that this song has so little likes.
Thomas Locke i agree
Every time i go to the beach i lift up rocks hoping to find a Tori .. no luck so far :/
daveyharsh 😂
Have you tried any close beach near China? Maybe.....
daveyharsh Goof 😂
weird loi
Keep trying
Lovely Song! Love from China 👍❤️
EZ Gao a
I still love this song.
gotdenning
OUTSTANDING song, quite possibly one of the loveliest ballads ever written.
" Has she gone and moved into a trailer park... "
wrong song
hope you have a tour to China one day dear tori!
you're right next to me. but i need an aeroplane...
breaks my heart every time
me too. I miss real relationships
Music so painfully beautiful.
ty Your music always put me in a better mood.
Verse missing China that decorates our table
Everything about this woman is beautiful!
You Can Heal lana del rey
including her bum
@Jeremy C Barnhart You know her irl?
A dry stone wall piano. I have got to have that in my garden, then I can pretend I know how to play one. :-)
Trump brought me here...
/groan🙂
Ugh well said "groan"
Can't stand Trump,but that made me chuckle.
This song continues sounds beautiful... Tori.... The best...<3
This is the first time I've seen this video and it almost ruined the song for me.
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..."
Yeah most of the early videos have a radio edit for time. Same in 'Winter' my favorite verse was cut.
¡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¿?
tsering gompo chinese eats dogs
shepdog069 really
...czasem myślę, że chcesz, abym cię dotknęła
ale jak mam to zrobić, kiedy budujesz wielką ścianę dookoła siebie?
Not good for your heart when your marriage is on the rocks. 💔💧
Know that feels man!Hope springs eternal!
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.J.'s Adventures in Asia do you live in Yulin?
she looks strangely older in this vid
She looks like Scarlet in here..
My favorite performance of this tune is from PBS Soundstage circa 2003. Gorgeous. A+
....... I can feel my heartbreaking all over again........ oh awe...
my love 💕
Considering my last name is China I'll presume this song is about me
Tori has always been wonderful and real I really relate on similar situations....
Wow, how have I never seen this before?!
This woman's music is supernatural.
Agreed!! 100%!!
Yes, it is. Imagine if she never came along, we would miss out on her loveliness songs and piano playing.
She has abilities some would consider unatural
In a bad way
One of my all time favorite songs ever! So beautiful and full of emotion it makes me cry each time I listen to it!
It makes me cry too. I love Tori and have for years. I just can't seem to get into her new stuff tho
2:36 Incredible! she even plays the piano with the rocks :D
Words cannot express the beauty contained in this song.
+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.
+Rusty Z I cannot put it any better.
Rusty Z not tonight Josephine torri. Amos
I miss my wife
+Shamus St Claire Me too. Mine split over a year ago. Life hasn't been right since.
I miss Tori's old face.
Joe Smith why?
@Rusty Z Sorry to hear that man
Same here.
I almost forgot how beautiful this video was.
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.
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.
<3 Beautiful <3
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
I was an emotional mess when she played this in NYC the other night. Reminds me of my difficult High School years...
a true peace of heart
I didn't know there was a video for this song
Fantastic.
she sure is one sea creature you'd like to run into
i have that exact camouflage rocks spandex bodysuit
@yap The print looks more like the broken pieces......
+yap lol
yap that looks ugly on your body
Dont we all
Хороший голос
i like her voice.
