The Sound of White Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a freeze-dried rose
You will never be what you were, what you were
To me in memory
But if I listen to the dark
You'll embrace me like a star
Envelope me, envelope me

[Pre-Chorus]
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me to before you went away
If only for a day
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me back to the tune we played
Before you went away

[Chorus]
And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white
You're my mystery, one mystery
My mystery, one mystery

[Verse 2]
My silence solidifies
'Til that hollow void erases you, erases you
So I can't feel at all
But if I never feel again
At least that nothingness will end the painful dream
Of you and me

[Pre-Chorus]
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me to before you went away
If only for a day
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me back to the tune we played
Before you went away

[Chorus variant]
And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
And if I listen to, the sound of white

[Bridge]
I knelt before some stranger's face
But I'll never have the courage or belief to trust this place
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair

[Chorus]
And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white

[Outro]
The sound of white
The sound of white
The sound of white
