The Solitude

Navy blue, your eyes are on my mind
I never viewed the solitude
As something to avoid until you left
The thoughts I hold close to the chest

For the most part I'm unchanged
But there's some things
That are terribly strange, like

Baby, when you're gone the night's so quiet
Dinner table it's one-sided
Too many pillows, too big a bed
Can't decide where to lay my head
There's no denying, I'm trying
Some things will never change

Sometimes the silence can be cruel
I wait alone, hear the neighbor's phone
Your keys are swinging on the rack
We're hanging here 'til you get back

Moments alone uninterfered
Can be so sweet but it's awfully weird when

Baby, you're gone the night's so quiet
Dinner table it's one-sided
Too many pillows, too big a bed
Can't decide where to lay my head and

When you're gone my mind's divided
Every choice left undecided
I tend to linger, I drag my feet
Stillness is bittersweet
There's no denying I'm trying
Some things will never change

A fool couldn't ask for more
I lost my cool, it's so easy to do, but

Baby, when you're gone the night's so quiet
Dinner table it's one-sided
Too many pillows, too big a bed
Can't decide where to lay my head and

When you're gone my mind's divided
Every choice left undecided
I tend to linger, I drag my feet
Stillness is bittersweet
There's no denying I'm trying
Some things will never change

Never change
