Cold wind hits the heavy pane
Salty air and freezing rain
I sit still upon the beam
Watching every silver stream
Water drips on rusted steel
Turning like a heavy wheel
Tension pulls the midnight tight
Waiting for a spark of light
White glass glow in the pouring rain
Washing out the city stain
White glass glow keeps the darkness low
Where the heavy waters flow
Dryers spin a dizzy round
Hissing like a hidden sound
Cotton shirts and linen sheets
Lighting up the empty streets
Water drips on rusted steel
Turning like a heavy wheel
Tension pulls the midnight tight
Waiting for a spark of light
White glass glow in the pouring rain
Washing out the city stain
White glass glow keeps the darkness low
Where the heavy waters flow
I am just a feathered ghost
Guarding like a coastal post
Blinking in the humming glare
Cutting through the winter air
Break the lock and swing the door
Feet don't touch the concrete floor
Let the sudden fever rise
Searing through my golden eyes
White glass glow in the pouring rain
Washing out the city stain
White glass glow keeps the darkness low
Where the heavy waters flow
Tumble dry the heavy gray
Wash the salty grit away
Now the storm begins to cease
Giving me a sudden peace
White glass glow in the pouring rain
Washing out the city stain
White glass glow keeps the darkness low
Where the heavy waters flow
White glass glow
White glass glow
Keeping it low
White glass glow
