(Rose? Rose? I don't know if I have the right number but I have some bad news to tell you.)
One full circle, round, round, round
One more calendar coming down
Late editions scandalize
Every headline full of lies
Houses in white
Oh how they take me back
There was a time
When I lived inside
But now I think twice
I walk quickly by houses in white
Once I saw it all so clear
Miles and miles away from here
The bridge of trust was burned back there
And we all have ashes in our hair
Houses in white
Oh how they take me back
There was a time
When I lived inside
But now I think twice
I walk quickly by houses in white
Pilot, pilot, fly me home
And let me sleep with clouds below
'Cause mixed emotions, they overflow
And now's the time to be alone
Houses in white
Oh how they take me back
There was a time
When I lived inside
But now I think twice
I walk quickly by houses in white
Houses in white
Oh how they take me back
There was a time
When I lived inside
But now I think twice
And I hurry by houses in white |
