The Sound Of White

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 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
'Til 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'll never have the courage or belief to trust this place
But I dropped my head, 'cause it felt like led
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
