The Sound Of White |
| Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be, |
| what you were, what you were to me in memory. |
| But if I listen to the dark, |
| you’ll embrace me like a star, |
| envelope me, envelope me… |
| If things get real for me down here, |
| promise to take me to before you went away — |
| if only for a day. |
| If things get real for me down here, |
| promise to take me back to the tune |
| we played before you went away. |
| And if I listen to, the sound of white, |
| sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light. |
| Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white. |
| You’re my mystery. |
| One mystery. |
| My mystery. |
| One mystery. |
| My silence solidifies, |
| until that hollow void erases you, |
| erases you so I can’t feel at all. |
| But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness |
| will end the painful dream, of you and me… |
| If things get real for me down here, promise to take me to before you went away, if only for a day. |
| If things get real for me down here, promise to take me back to the tune we played before you went away. |
| And if I listen to, the sound of white |
| sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light. |
| Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white |
| sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light. |
| And if I listen to, the sound of white. |
| I knelt before some strangers face, |
| I’d never have the courage or belief to trust this place, |
| But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead, |
| And I’m sure I felt your fingers through my hair… |
| And if I listen to, the sound of white sometimes |
| I hear your smile, and breathe your light. |
| Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white. |
| The sound of white, |
| The sound of white, |
| The sound of white. |
