[instrumental]
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 And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [12 bars of instrumental again]
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 never thought of finding you here"
And I turn to the crowd as they're watching They're sitting all together in the dark and the warm And I wanted to be in there among them I see how their eyes are gathered into one And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [12 bars of instrumental again]
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 never thought of finding you here"
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 And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
