Полный текст песни Solitude Standing - Suzanne Vega

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
