Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping Beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice, "You must learn to stand up
For yourself 'cause I can't always be around"
He says, when you going to make up your mind?
When you going to love you as much as I do?
When you going to make up your mind?
'Cause things are going to change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear
Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting
Withering where some snowman was
Mirror, mirror, where's the crystal palace?
But I only can see myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know, dad, the ice is getting thin
When you going to make up your mind?
When you going to love you as much as I do?
When you going to make up your mind?
'Cause things are going to change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear
Hair is grey and the fires are burning
So many dreams on the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself
When you going to make up your mind?
When you going to love you as much as I do?
When you going to make up your mind?
'Cause things are going to change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear
Never change
All the white horses

| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Jan 20, 2012 - 09:45 Consider BOTH Tori & Kate are AMAZING in their own right! And yes, Tori does acknowledge that Kate was one of her biggest inspirations and influences...."for the record."  |

| spyboy1 | Posted: Dec 28, 2010 - 14:48 Every song sounds the same - like fingernails on a chalkboard. Man is she in love with the sound of her own voice. |
| teapot (in orbit) | Posted: Dec 28, 2010 - 14:46 She's an original. This is her best album. |
| Delawhere | Posted: Dec 22, 2010 - 06:51 thank you, that just took up about 20 minutes of my day. |

| RedGuitar (Iowa, USA) | Posted: Dec 22, 2010 - 06:23 The CD-EP that came out with this contained "Smells Like Teen Spirit," the Stones' "Angie," and Zep's "Thank You." Great versions of those, I thought. |

| DrLex (Belgium) | Posted: Apr 25, 2010 - 10:41 The release date mentioned for this album is a little off. It should be 1992. |
| robco1 (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Mar 24, 2010 - 20:07 My favorite of hers. |
| btilrn (Redding, CA) | Posted: Feb 23, 2010 - 14:15 Listening to music intently for over 40 years and this is my all-time favorite track by anybody, anywhere. Do you care? Probably not. But I do. And I appreciate RP for caring, too. |
| chyk5 (Florida) | Posted: Feb 23, 2010 - 14:15 I'd forgotten that I actually liked Tori's music at one time; nice reminder. |
| zipper | Posted: Feb 23, 2010 - 14:08 Beautifully tragic. |
| pinklife (St. Augustine, FL) | Posted: Feb 23, 2010 - 14:08 Tori was the first artist I listened to that seriously freaked out my parents.  |

Luckily I'm a big Kate Bush fan :) My thoughts exactly. The comparison must drive Tori Amos fans a little nuts, but all I can hear is Kate (sorry!) |

| Papernapkin (Mountain View, CA) | Posted: Dec 20, 2009 - 09:59 Just crying to me. |
| DaveInVA (In a crumbling Queen Anne mansion in Damnville, VA) | Posted: Dec 20, 2009 - 09:55 This is my favorite Tori Amos song, really shows what greatness she is capable of |
| Mnemo (close to munich) | Posted: Apr 16, 2009 - 01:57 If aliens come to earth and asking: "What is music?". I would play this song to define it. |

What if she just ate your food and watched your TV and sang loudly when you were trying to concentrate and talked on your phone and played your video games and broke your favorite coffee mug. Would you still think that you can't have too much Tori? I would love it if Tori did all those things. I can't get enough of her either! Bill you totally cracked me up reading this just now  |
