In a white room with black curtains near the station.
Bb C Dm F G Bb C Dm F G
Black roof country no gold pavements tired starlings.
Bb C Dm F G Bb C Dm F G
Silver horses run-down moon-beams in your dark eyes.
Bb C Dm F G Bb C Dm F G
Dawn light smiles on your 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.
Dm F G Bb C Dm F G
You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Bb C Dm F G Bb C Dm F G
Platform ticket restless diesels goodbye windows.
Bb C Dm F G Bb C Dm F G
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
Bb C Dm F G Bb C Dm F G
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.

Lie----with you, where the shadows, run, from themselves.

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Bb C Dm F G Bb C Dm F G
Consolation from the old wound now forgotten.
Bb C Dm F G Bb C Dm F G
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
Bb C Dm F G Bb C Dm F G
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.
