The Sound of White (Live)
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
Envelop me, envelop 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 you smile and I breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to a sound of white
You're my mystery, one mystery
My mystery, one mystery
My silence solidifies
'Til that hollow void erases you
Eases you, so I can't feel it all
But if I never feel again
At least that nothingness will end
The painful dream of you and me, oh
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 you smile and I breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white, oh-oh, oh
See, 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, 'cause 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 you smile and I breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white
A sound of white
A sound of white
A sound of white
Thank you ever so much
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
Envelop me, envelop 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 you smile and I breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to a sound of white
You're my mystery, one mystery
My mystery, one mystery
My silence solidifies
'Til that hollow void erases you
Eases you, so I can't feel it all
But if I never feel again
At least that nothingness will end
The painful dream of you and me, oh
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 you smile and I breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white, oh-oh, oh
See, 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, 'cause 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 you smile and I breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white
A sound of white
A sound of white
A sound of white
Thank you ever so much
