Mason Jennings Lyrics: White

White

there's a body in the road
baby i love you
we hit the ice and the turn went blind
there was nothing i could do

stone sleep, stone white
stone pale, stone night
my girl is dead

there's a body in the car
out across my headlights in the field
somewhere birds are flying home
there ain't nothing moving here

stone sleep, stone white
stone pale, stone night
my girl is dead

i can see the lights are flashing coming over the hill
i can hear the sirens crying all around me
and i wish that i knew a lullaby
that explained to myself what it means to be alive

there's a body in the crawl
newspaper crew
there ain't nothing to photograph
but policemen staring at their shoes

stone sleep, stone white
stone pale, stone night
my girl is dead
