In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.
You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.
Eric Clapton & Friends - White Room (04:15)
Eric Clapton with his friends: - Greg Phillinganes - Nathan East - Phil Collins
Clapton did well to make this his own instead of copying all the others who have played this song. Sheryl crows vocal tone compliments Clapton's quite well.

Opposite opinion. I am NOT a Clapton fan, and I really enjoy this version. He gives you an oroginal version of a cover. Nice contradiction; I know.

the backing guitarist has a strat with humbuckers ... it really annoyed me ... but otherwise it was pretty good for a cover ...

OK, no more comments. This unfortunately became like a mud where all people throw their most archaic feelings. This wonderful tool could be used as a place of gathering, intelligent conversation and knowledge interchanging, instead of just saying "hey, this is awesome, Clapton is god" or "this is crap. Bullshit". Not anymore. This pathetic carnival is over. Get yourselves a life.

haha, you are the man. Only shitty guitarists are like that dude. When you get past how shitty you are yourself you tend to not bitch about other people's playing and get better a lot faster yourself.

God, after reading some of these comments, I've come to the conclusion that all musicians are total assholes. Stuck-up, bitter, egotistical, and completely set in their ways (the my way or the highway approach). I'd like to see any of you do half this good. Please, post some videos. Back up your word, cuz you seem to like to run your mouth so much. Maybe you should be practicing instead.
