Solitude Standing (Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower, with a flame [Verse 2] Solitude stands in the doorway 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 [Refrain] And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower, with a flame [Bridge] 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 said, "I never thought of finding you here" [Verse 3] And I turn to the crowd as they're watching They're sitting all together in the dark, in the warm And I wanted to be in there among them I see how their eyes are gathered into one [Refrain] And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower, with a flame [Bridge] 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 said, "I never thought of finding you here" [Verse 2] Solitude stands in the doorway 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 [Refrain] And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower, with a flame
