White Room
Lyrics
In the white room with black curtains near the station Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentmentfull lyrics...

Consolation for the old wound now forgotten As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines I walked into such a sad time at the station I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes You said no strings could secure you at the station Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd In the white room with black curtains near the station Songwriters: Pete Brown, Jack Bruce Publisher: DRATLEAF LIMITED Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Great song - one of the top classic rock songs - but what do the lyrics mean? Did Clapton know? Does it matter? Just flow of conciousness , I guess.

This is the first time, after hearing this song for years upon years, that I have actually read the lyrics to it. Lots of lines I didn't expect!

This is Great Rock'n'Roll right here ! Jack Bruce can sing ! And of course - Slowhand on guitar ! Ginger Baker with the unusual tempo - it's Cream ! The "cream of the crop "...!
Legendary song by a Legendary Band.... |

Boy, what a discovery - 1987 when I found the original brown "Best of Cream" lp. Then got the tape. Then burned out the tape, and my walkman, in the process of listening to these 3 madmen. And I'm still listening ... and saw them in 2005 on the Reunion tour. Still one of my all-time favorite bands.

No, it's about being depressed. After Jack Bruce finished the guitar parts, their lyricist Pete Brown came up with colorful four sylable phrases about waiting at a British train station influenced by the drugs he was taking at the time.
Great song overall, Clapton does a great solo with his wah-wah pedaling which he got from Jimi Hendrix by the way. rip Jack Bruce |

I hate the into but the rest is beauty. For a while, I thought this was a cover of White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane because of the similar titles. Great song though.

Cream rocks!! this song...its ok, the synth sounds good on some bands, like pink floyd, for one, not cream, though
