Solitude stands by the window She turns her head as I walk in the room I can see by her eyes she's been waiting Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
Solitude stands in the doorway And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette By her long cool stare and her silence I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
And she says 'I've come to set a twisted thing straight' And she says 'I've come to lighten this dark heart' And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear And I say 'I've never thought of finding you here'
I turn to the crowd as they're watching They're sitting all together in the dark in the warm I wanted to be in there among them I see how their eyes are gathered into one
And then she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
And she says 'I've come to set a twisted thing straight' And she says'l've come to lighten this dark heart' And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear And I say 'I've never thought of finding you here'
Solitude stands in the doorway And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette By her long cool stare and her silence I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
