Jim Carroll Band - Rooms video free download

From album "Dry Dreams" (1982)

You're passing,

I hear your shadow through the door

It's outlined on my shade

Like a map of some foreign shore

If I could keep that shadow,

I could live forever in my room

Rooms, the rooms inside my dreams . . .

And dreams have kept me in my rooms

I've never seen her face

But I've memorized each sound . . .

The way the wind meets 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
