Lyrics

[00:20.02] Solitude stands by the window
[00:23.03] She turns her head as I walk in the room
[00:26.24] I can see by her eyes shes been waiting
[00:29.45] Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
[00:32.96] And she turns to me with her hand extended
[00:35.96] Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[01:02.37] Solitude stands in the doorway
[01:05.28] And Im struck once again by her black silhouette
[01:08.63] By her long cool stare and her silence
[01:11.95] I suddenly remember each time weve met
[01:15.35] And she turns to me with her hand extended
[01:18.40] Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[01:45.43] And she says "Ive come to set a twisted thing straight"
[01:52.14] And she says "Ive come to lighten this dark heart"
[01:58.61] And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
[02:04.94] And I say "Ive never thought of finding you here"
[02:10.81] I turn to the crowd as theyre watching
[02:14.01] Theyre sitting all together in the dark in the warm
[02:17.21] I wanted to be in there among them
[02:20.69] I see how their eyes are gathered into one
[02:24.08] And then she turns to me with her hand extended
[02:27.04] Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[02:54.20] And she says "Ive come to set a twisted thing straight"
[03:00.51] And she says"Ive come to lighten this dark heart"
[03:07.09] And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
[03:13.65] And I say "Ive never thought of finding you here"
[03:19.67] Solitude stands in the doorway
[03:22.77] And Im struck once again by her black silhouette
[03:25.91] By her long cool stare and her silence
[03:29.32] I suddenly remember each time weve met
[03:33.06] And she turns to me with her hand extended
[03:36.32]
