(1)in a white room       with black curtains       near the station
(2)you said no strings   could secure you          at the station
(3)at the party          she was kindness          in the hard crowd

   blackroof country     no gold pavements         tired starlings
   platform ticket       restless diesels          goodbye windows
   consolation           from the old wound        now forgotten

   silver horses         run down moonbeams        in your dark eyes
   i walked into         such a sad time           at the station
   yellow tigers         crouched in jungles       in her dark eyes

   dawnlight smiles      on your leaving           my contentment
   as I walked out       felt my own need          just beginning
   shes just dressing    goodbye windows           tired starlings

(1)ill wait in this place where the sun never shines
(2)ill wait in the queue when the trains come back
(3)ill sleep in this place with the lonely crowd

   C            G/B             Bb      C        D
   wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
   ill wait for you   where the shadows run from themselves
   lie in the dark    where the shadows run from themselves
