Rooms - The Jim Carroll Band

By jim carroll and steve linsley

Youre passing,

I hear your shadow through the door

Its outlined on my shade

Like a map of some foreign shore

If I could keep that shadow,

I could live forever in these

Rooms, the rooms inside my dreams.

..

And dreams have kept me in these rooms

Ive never seen her face

But Ive memorized each sound.

..

The way the wind m eets grace

When its shadows pull her gown

But I could never hear the whispers,

Voices cannot reach my room

I live inside my dreams, and dreams

Have locked me in these rooms

I have no sense of time,

Or even night and day.

I left my body

Somewhere, somehow it Just got in the way

I guess I always knew

These rooms would all lead back to you
