Jack Bruce - White Room lyrics

In a white room with black curtains
Near the stations 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
And 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 tickets
Restless diesels goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time
At the station as I walked out
Felt my own need just beginning

And I'll wait in the queue
As the trains come back lie in the dark
Where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness
In the hard crowd consolation
For the old wounds now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles
In your dark eyes she's just dressing
Goodbye windows tired starlings
And I'll wait in this place
With the lonely crowd lie in the dark
Where the shadows run from themselves
