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
