Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos; August 22, 1963) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter and composer. She is a classically trained musician and possesses a mezzo-soprano vocal range. Amos originally served as the lead singer of 1980s synthpop group Y Kant Tori Read, and as a solo artist was at the forefront of a number of female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s.

Some of her charting singles include "Crucify", "Silent All These Years", "God", "Cornflake Girl", "Caught a Lite Sneeze", "Professional Widow", "Spark", "1000 Oceans", and "A Sorta Fairytale", her most commercially successful single in the U.S. to date. more »

Sights and sounds 
Pull me back down 
Another year 

I was here 
I was here 

Whipping past 
The reflecting pool 
Me and you 
Skipping school 

And we make it up 
As we go along 
We make it up 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 
Pull me back down 
Another year 

I was here 
I was here 

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 
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 

In our 
Hands
