(Rose? Rose? I don't know if I have the right number but I have some bad news to tell you.) 
One full circle, round, round, round 
One more calendar coming down 
Late editions scandalize 
Every headline full of lies 
Houses in white 
Oh how they take me back 
There was a time 
When I lived inside 
But now I think twice 
I walk quickly by houses in white 
Once I saw it all so clear 
Miles and miles away from here 
The bridge of trust was burned back there 
And we all have ashes in our hair 
Houses in white 
Oh how they take me back 
There was a time 
When I lived inside 
But now I think twice 
I walk quickly by houses in white 
Pilot, pilot, fly me home 
And let me sleep with clouds below 
'Cause mixed emotions, they overflow 
And now's the time to be alone 
Houses in white 
Oh how they take me back 
There was a time 
When I lived inside 
But now I think twice 
I walk quickly by houses in white 
Houses in white 
Oh how they take me back 
There was a time 
When I lived inside 
But now I think twice 
And I hurry by houses in white
