0:14Like a freeze-dried rose you will never be
0:19What you were
0:21What you were to me in memory
0:25But if I listen to the dark
0:28You'll embrace me like a star
0:31Envelope me envelope me
0:39If things get real for me down here
0:44Promise to take me to before you went away -
0:50If only for a day
0:52If things get real for me down here
0:57Promise to take me back to the tune
1:00We played before you went away
1:05And if I listen to the sound of white
1:12Sometimes I hear your smile
1:16And breathe your light
1:18Yeah if I listen to the sound of white
1:29You're my mystery One mystery
1:35My mystery One mystery
1:45My silence solidifies
1:48Until that hollow void erases you
1:52Erases you so I can't feel at all
1:56But if I never feel again
1:59At least that nothingness
2:01Will end the painful dream
2:05Of you and me
2:11If things get real for me down here
2:15Promise to take me to
2:18Before you went away if only for a day
2:24If things get real for me down here
2:28Promise to take me back to
2:31The tune we played before you went away
2:37And if I listen to the sound of white
2:43Sometimes I hear your smile
2:47And breathe your light
2:49Yeah if I listen to the sound of white
2:56Sometimes I hear your smile
3:00And breathe your light
3:03And if I listen to the sound of white
3:16I knelt before some strangers face
3:22I'd never have the courage
3:25Or belief to trust this place
3:29But I dropped my head 'cos it felt like lead
3:36And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair
3:45And if I listen to the sound of white sometimes
3:52I hear your smile and breathe your light
3:58Yeah if I listen to the sound of white
4:09The sound of white
4:15The sound of white
4:22The 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 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 strangers face 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
