About White Room

"White Room", written by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown, is a single by Cream from their 1968 album Wheels of Fire. After bassist Jack Bruce wrote the guitar pieces, Cream's lyricist, poet Pete Brown, grouped colorful four-syllable phrases, loosely organized around images of waiting in an English railway station influenced by the drugs he was taking. "White Room" is further noted for its unusual time signature of 5/4 in the introduction and bridge, with triplets played on toms by Ginger Baker, his thunderous bass drum part also lacing the verses. .

White Room Lyrics

[00:23.17] In a white room with black curtains in the station
[00:31.93] Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
[00:40.68] Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
[00:49.32] Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment
[00:58.97] I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
[01:07.91] Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
[01:19.88] You said no strings could secure you at the station
[01:28.73] Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
[01:37.67] I walked into, such a sad time, at the station
[01:45.96] As I walked out, felt my own need, just beginning
[01:55.11] I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
[02:04.40] Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves
[02:15.56]
[02:37.84] At the party, she was kindness in the hard crowd
[02:46.63] Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
[02:55.57] Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
[03:04.32] She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
[03:13.64] I'll sleep in this place with the lo-onely crowd
[03:22.04] Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
[03:31.34]
