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]

I will wait in this place where the sun never shines

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

[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]

I will wait in this place where the sun never shines

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
