SUZANNE VEGA lyrics : "Solitude Standing"

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
