White Room (Cream cover) Lyrics
Ah, in a white room with black curtains, near the stations
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses, run down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Drawnlight smiles on your leaving, my contentment
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 ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
When I walked out, felt my own need just beginning I'll sleep in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation from the old wound now frogotten
Yellow tiggers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing goodbye windows, tired starlings
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Wait here with you where the shadows run from themselves
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses, run down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Drawnlight smiles on your leaving, my contentment
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
When I walked out, felt my own need just beginning I'll sleep in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
Consolation from the old wound now frogotten
Yellow tiggers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing goodbye windows, tired starlings
Wait here with you where the shadows run from themselves

So how come they have this listed under Sheryl Crow? Come on people, this is a Cream song! Give the fellas some credit. Anyway, it's a bitchin' song .
Why is this under Sheryl Crow?
Tsk tsk. Sheryl Crow could scribble her laundry lists of pensées for a hundred years, and never come up with a song like Cream's "White Room."
Sheryl Crow & Eric Clapton were a thing a while back ... apparently "my favorite mistake" was written about him. That is in no way relevent, I think I just felt like showing off. I wasn't even aware that she did a cover of this song. Curiosity will get the better of me, here...
you are a dumb shit eric clapton is married and has kids and never had a thing for sheryl crow
um, no. He is not currently married, and you don't have to be married to have children. They were an item a ways back ... so bugger off!
looks like sheryl crow got blasted in the same white room as clapton, ey boys?..
if you don't know, this song is about the cocain
don't have a cow, y'all! The reason they have "white room" listed for Sheryl is that it was on her "live in Central Park" cd, in which Eric Clapton sang it with her.
