Lyrics

In the white room with black curtains near the station

In a white room with black curtains near the station

Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings

Describing a place with a stark contrast - white room, black curtains, in a desolate setting without prosperity

Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes

Imagery of silver horses running down moonbeams in someone's dark eyes, suggesting a dreamlike or surreal quality

Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment

Dawn light smiles on the person leaving, bringing contentment to the speaker


I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines

The speaker expresses willingness to wait in a place where the sun never shines

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

Emphasizes waiting in a place where shadows avoid themselves, possibly indicating isolation or introspection


You said no strings could secure you at the station

Someone claimed that no commitments could bind them at the station

Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows

Depicts the farewell scene at the station with platform tickets, restless diesels, and goodbye windows

I walked into such a sad time at the station

Speaker recalls entering a sorrowful time at the station

As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

Upon leaving, the speaker feels their own need emerging


I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back

Expresses waiting in a queue for the return of trains

Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

Intends to lie with someone where shadows avoid themselves, implying a desire for intimacy


At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd

Describes a person as kindness in a challenging crowd at a party

Consolation for the old wound now forgotten

Portrays the person as solace for an old wound that is now forgotten

Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes

Depicts yellow tigers in jungles in the person's dark eyes, adding a mysterious and wild element

She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

Person dressing and tired starlings, suggesting weariness and farewell


I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back

Reiterates waiting in a queue for the return of trains

Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

Reiterates the intention to lie with someone where shadows avoid themselves


Within the Circle of the Wise, My body pledged upon the earth,

Spirit of the Wise and Ways-between, Hear ye this night my call,

Shifting shades, and presences unseen, Open within the Way 'twixt All!

A vessel I call till thou art come, A living shrine enfleshed by Night,

Refers to a vessel waiting until a presence comes, becoming a living shrine in the night

To hold within the Light of One, A lamp to take the Devil's Light!

Expresses the purpose of holding the Devil's Light within the Light of One

Enjoin’ ye Old One bear with me, The witches' covenant to seal,

Requests the Old One to bear with the speaker, sealing a witches' covenant

This house of flesh I give to thee, Herein thy mystery to reveal.

Offers the speaker's house of flesh to reveal the Old One's mystery

My body to care and aid, Essences of the night-side old,

Against all adversity thy cloak enfold!
