White Room

[Verse 1] In the white room with black curtains near the station Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment [Chorus] I will wait in this place where the sun never shines Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves [Verse 2] You said no strings could secure you at the station Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows I walked into such a sad time at the station As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning [Chorus] [Verse 3] At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd Consolation for the old wound now forgotten Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes She is just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings [Chorus]
