This song speaks to the emphasis in a “clean slate” or new beginning. Whatever seemingly random nouns are used in her song are all erased in the end lyric with “into white” which is also the title of her album.
I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice
Tables of paper wood
Windows of light
And everything emptying into white
A simple garden, with acres of sky
A brown-haired dogmouse
If one should drop by
Yellow delanie would sleep well at night
And everything emptying into white
And everything emptying into white
A blue eyed drummer rehearses outside
A black spider dancing on top of his eye
Red legged chicken stands ready to strike
And everything emptying into white
Into White was written by Cat Stevens.
Into White was produced by Jimmy Parr & Carly Simon.
