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 Cwait in this Gplace where the Bbsun never Ashines;
CWait in this Gplace where the Bbshadows Crun from Dthemselves.
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 Cwait in the Gqueue when the Bbtrains come Aback;
CLie with Gyou where the Bbshadows Crun from Dthemselves.

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 Csleep in this Gplace with the Bblonely Acrowd;
CLie in the Gdark where the Bbshadows Crun from Dthemselves.
