White Room (Live at The Royal Albert Hall, Rock Version)

[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
