lyrics
In the white house on the hill
That is where I lost my will, To learn
In the woods that surround it
You never would have found it, Again
In the white house by the sea
That is where I learn to be, Alone
And the birds that flew past it
They never would have lasted, in there
[Chorus]
Now when the white house calls
To the lights I crawl
To the lights I crawl
In the white house on the island
I learnt old age is tiresome, for all
All the boats that come near it
have only learnt to fear it, for now
For all the years I've lived
The words I'm left with, Are few
From white house by the sea to the city of silent dreams, I'll run
[Chorus]
Now when the white house calls
To the lights I crawl
To the lights I crawl
From now on I will live
Give all I've got to give, to life
I'm the island, I'm the sea
And all I want to be, Is me
out here
[Chorus]
Now when the white house calls
To the lights I crawl
To the lights I crawl
Now when the white house falls
To the streets I'll call
To the streets I'll call
That is where I lost my will, To learn
In the woods that surround it
You never would have found it, Again
In the white house by the sea
That is where I learn to be, Alone
And the birds that flew past it
They never would have lasted, in there
[Chorus]
Now when the white house calls
To the lights I crawl
To the lights I crawl
In the white house on the island
I learnt old age is tiresome, for all
All the boats that come near it
have only learnt to fear it, for now
For all the years I've lived
The words I'm left with, Are few
From white house by the sea to the city of silent dreams, I'll run
[Chorus]
Now when the white house calls
To the lights I crawl
To the lights I crawl
From now on I will live
Give all I've got to give, to life
I'm the island, I'm the sea
And all I want to be, Is me
out here
[Chorus]
Now when the white house calls
To the lights I crawl
To the lights I crawl
Now when the white house falls
To the streets I'll call
To the streets I'll call
