Visions of white

I went to church-down on my knees
I prayed for help - I prayed for strength
but then I dressed in black and gave myself to someone
I wanted to go as soon as I had come
oh, oh, oh, oh

my vision was clear and my back was strong
but I kept my options open for far too long
now there's a hole in me the size of you
that any fool could see right through
and oh, I'm thinkin' 'bout you, tonight
oh, I'm haunted by visions of white

I'm callin' you from another truckstop telephone
it rings and rings, but no one's home
and my desperate voice just hits your hardwood floors
being beaten' back and forth
and oh I'm thinkin' 'bout you, tonight
oh, I'm haunted by visions of white

and you filled my dreams again last night
and in my sleepin' bless I felt your sweet gentleness
but in the morning light you were gone
but I'm thinkin' 'bout you, tonight
oh, I'm haunted by visions of white

my vision was clear and my back was strong
but I kept my options open for far too long
now there's a hole in me the size of you
that any fool could see right through, oh
