Eric Clapton White Room Lyrics

White Room Lyrics

In the white room with black curtains near the station.Blackroof country, no
gold pavements, tired starlings.Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark
eyes.Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;Wait in this place where the
shadows run from themselves.
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.
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;Lie with you where the shadows
run from themselves.
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's just
dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;Lie in the dark where the
shadows run from themselves.
