[Intro: 12 measures of Amsus2]
Amsus2Solitude stands by the Amsus2window
Amsus2She turns her head as I Amsus2walk in the room
I can Amsus2see by her eyes she's been Amsus2waiting
Amsus2Standing in the Amsus2slant of the late afternoon
And she Am(9)turns to me with her Am(9)hand extended
Her B5/Apalm is split with a B5/Aflower with a flameAmsus2 Amsus2

Amsus2[instrumen[Amsus2]tal] Amsus2 Amsus2
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]
Amsus2 And she says, "I've Amsus2come to set a Amsus2/Gtwisted thing Amsus2/Fstraight"
Amsus2 And she says, "I've Amsus2come to lighten Amsus2/Gthis dark heAmsus2/Fart"
C#m7 And she takes my C#m7wrist, I feel her Bsus4imprint ofAmsus2 fear
C#m7 And I say, "I C#m7never thought of Bsus4finding you Amsus2here"
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
[Fade out on repeated Am(9)/C & B5]
