Missy Higgins - The Sound Of White Lyrics
Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,
What you were, what you were to me in memory.
But if I listen to the dark,
You'll embrace me like a star,
Envelope me, envelope me...
Promise to take me to before you went away -
If only for a day.
If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me back to the tune
We played before you went away.
And if I listen to, the sound of white,
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.
My silence solidifies,
Until that hollow void erases you,
Erases you so I can't feel at all.
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness
Will end the painful dream, of you and me...
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me to
Before you went away, if only for a day.
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me back to
The tune we played before you went away.
And if I listen to, the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
And if I listen to, the sound of white.
I knelt before some strangers face,
I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...
And if I listen to, the sound of white sometimes
I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white.
The sound of white,
The sound of white,
The sound of white.

Missy- Touching my heart like sunshine on a morning rose petal
This was my uncle's funeral song 💕
This was my uncle's funeral song 💕
Like a freeze-dried rose
You will never be what you were, what you were
To me in memory
But if I listen to the dark
You'll embrace me like a star
Envelope me, envelope me
[Pre-Chorus]
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me to before you went away
If only for a day
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me back to the tune we played
Before you went away
[Chorus]
And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white...
You're my mystery, one mystery
My mystery, one mystery
[Verse 2]
My silence solidifies
'Til that hollow void erases you, erases you
So I can't feel at all
But if I never feel again
At least that nothingness will end the painful dream
Of you and me
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus variant]
And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
And if I listen to, the sound of white...
[Bridge]
I knelt before some stranger's face
But I'll never have the courage or belief to trust this place
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair
[Chorus]
[Outro]
The sound of white...
The sound of white...
The sound of white...
I love this song! This entire debut album of Missy's is one of my all time favourite albums and you can hear her Aussie accent in her songs. *flails excitedly*
Brissy Girl I just watched her on ABC, I think it was. She’s so amazing.
A song to my mother
just beautiful ❤
Missy- Touching my heart like sunshine on a morning rose petal
What a cool song.
Shes so prolific love her music
Heard this when i went to Australia 1st in 2006 working in a falalala kitchen in Melbourne & fell inlove with it and ask the manager who it was and followed her ever since!! Love your stuff Missy. If ever in Ireland, drop me a line. Apparently one my friends me you outside Galway when you were here some years ago. Connemara!
I love you forever Ira Todd, my second son.
it's the accent as much as the obvious beauty of the song and the joy of the lyrics. No one has ever sung anything quite as poignant as this in That voice. It's as if your best mate unexpectedly became an angel.
This song is as fucking atrocious as a hyena getting molested by caitlin jenner (who is in fact a male). If this was played at my funeral i would come back from the dead, turn this shit off, play pumped up kicks and go to the nearest preschool to re instate my restraining order put against me by that eric cunts mother after i raped him.

Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,
What you were, what you were to me in memory.

You'll embrace me like a star,
Envelope me, envelope me...
If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me to before you went away -
If only for a day.
If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me back to the tune
We played before you went away.
And if I listen to, the sound of white,
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.
My silence solidifies,

If things get real for me down here, promise to take me to
Before you went away, if only for a day.
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me back to
The tune we played before you went away.
And if I listen to, the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
And if I listen to, the sound of white.

I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,

And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...
And if I listen to, the sound of white sometimes
I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white.
The sound of white,
The sound of white,
The sound of white.
