Choose a track to play
In a white room
With black curtains at the station
Black roof country
No cold pavement, tired starlings
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment
And I'll wait in this place
Where the sun never shines
Wait in this place
Where the shadows run from themselves
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform tickets, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning
And I'll wait in this place
Where the sun never shines
Wait in this place
Where the shadows run from themselves
At the party, she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old, now forgotten and new
Elbow tigers crouched in jungles in your dark eyes
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment
And I'll wait in this place
Where the sun never shines
Wait in this place
Where the shadows run from themselves
Thank you very much, thank you
