White room
Ah ah

1. In a white
room with black curtains near the stations.
Am C D F Am -C-D-F
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Am
C D F Am -C-D-F
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Am C D F Am -C-D-F
Dawnlight smiles on your leaving, my contentment.
G D F E
I'll
wait in this place where the sun never shines.
G D F G A
Wait
in this place where the shadows run from themselves.
2. You said no strings could secure you at the stations.
Am C D F Am - C-D-F
Platform ticket, restless
diesels, goodbye windows.
Am C D F Am - C-D-F
I
walked into such a sad time at
the station.
Am C D F Am - C-D-F
As I
walked out felt my own need just beginning.
G D F E
I'll
wait in the queue when the trains come back,
G D F G A
I'll
wait for you where the shadows run from themselves. + CHORUS
3. At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Am F D F Am - C-D-F
Consolation from the old wound now forgotten.
Am C D F Am - C-D-F
Yellow
tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
Am C D F Am - C-D-F
She's just dressing goodbye windows, tired starlings.
G D F E
I'll
sleep in this place with the lonely crowd,
G
D F G A
lie in
the dark where the shadows run from themselves. + CHORUS
