Here's Tori's description of it:
AmySVP asks: How do you choose the titles for your songs? In your book you were debating on Garlands and you chose Garlands in the end instead of Washington Square - any particular reason why?
TORI: I think that even though Washington Square is a point of place in the song, it didn't put it's arms around the song in a way that Garlands did. If you think of the word garlands as not just a collection of flowers, but a collection of paintings, ideas, and in this case it's a collection of Chagall lithographs.

"Isabella was waiting there for me in a shaft of light by the piano and she said "Write me in a song. I want access to this dimension." I said "Talk with me awhile." I just started playing something random so as not to lose the moment. Then she said, "You’re still hurting." I asked her "To what are you referring?" She said, "I was there that day." I asked "What day?" "That day when you walked through Washington Square and I saw a tear you were hiding, and I held up a candle to guide you." I looked at this glorious vision of light, and I giggled softly. "Well, Isabella, we know which song you are in, then, don’t we?" She held me a moment then danced back into the shaft of light from which she had come. I finished Washington Square [title changed to Garlands] that day." [Tori Amos: Piece by Piece]
