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
stranger's face
But 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
