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
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

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

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

Lyrics by Tori Amos from her album, "Little Earthquakes"
