A White Building

When the music stops

the crowd fades away

the big stage that I've been dreamin' of

was made of haze

The first time that I walked in

your tiny house

I never thought that we'd be together

such a long time

Bloomin' as the wind

southern skies of white and blue

that day I truly thought

that I could be the one for you

and all your childhood stories

and the creatures in your head

that's what I miss the most

of those tiny house days

but what got in the way

of our sweetest restless days

did we just overthink it

paranoia made us change

now this big white room

has no fantasies or clues

just a boring cabaret

of end October days

bloomin' as the wind

southern skies of white and blue

that day I truly thought

that I could be the one for you

and all your childhood stories

and the creatures in your head

that's what I miss the most

of those tiny house days

at first I was just another rider

but then you took it

somewhere higher

at first I was just another rider

but then you took it

somewhere higher

at first I was just another rider

but then you took it

somewhere higher

at first I was just another rider

but then you took it

somewhere higher

somewhere higher

somewhere higher

somewhere higher

bloomin' as the wind

southern skies of white and blue

that day I truly thought

that I could be the one for you

now you can find me in a gutter

with these old country songs

I might as well sail the seas

with a hot jazz pirate band
