Suzanne Vega - Solitude Standing Lyrics
Solitude stands by the windowShe turns her head as I walk in the roomI can see by her eyes shes been waitingStanding in the slant of the late afternoonAnd she turns to me with her hand extendedHer palm is split with a flower with a flameSolitude stands in the doorwayAnd Im struck once again by her black silhouetteBy her long cool stare and her silenceI suddenly remember each time weve metAnd she turns to me with her hand extendedHer palm is split with a flower with a flameAnd she says Ive come to set a twisted thing straightAnd she says Ive come to lighten this dark heartAnd she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fearAnd I say Ive never thought of finding you hereI turn to the crowd as theyre watchingTheyre sitting all together in the dark in the warmI wanted to be in there among themI see how their eyes are gathered into oneAnd then she turns to me with her hand extendedHer palm is split with a flower with a flameAnd she says Ive come to set a twisted thing straightAnd she sayslve come to lighten this dark heartAnd she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fearAnd I say Ive never thought of finding you hereSolitude stands in the doorwayAnd Im struck once again by her black silhouetteBy her long cool stare and her silenceI suddenly remember each time weve metAnd she turns to me with her hand extendedHer palm is split with a flower with a flame
