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.

	C	G	Bb	A
I'll	wait in this	place where the	sun never	shines;

	C	G	Bb	C	D
	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.

	C	G	Bb	A
I'll	wait in the	queue when the	trains come	back;

	C	G	Bb	C	D
	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.

	C	G	Bb	A
I'll	sleep in this	place with the	lonely	crowd;

	C	G	Bb	C	D
	Lie in the	dark where the	shadows	run from	themselves.
