Into White

Cat Stevens

I built my house from barley rice 
Green pepper walls and water ice 
Tables of paper wood, windows of light 
And everything emptying into white. 

A simple garden, with acres of sky 
A Brown-haired dogmouse 
If one dropped by 
Yellow Delanie would sleep well at night 
With everything emptying into white. 

A sad blue eyed drummer rehearses outside 
A Black spider dancing on top of his eye 
Red legged chicken stands ready to strike 
And everything emptying into white. 

I built my house from barley rice 
Green pepper walls and water ice 
And everything emptying into white
