Album: Best of Cream

[Wheels of Fire - In the Studio:]

In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn-light smiles on you 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
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

[Live Cream Vol 2:]

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah

In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
And 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
As I walked in such a bad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own needs just beginning
And I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgovern
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

And I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
