Lyrics
Solitude
Oh solitude
My sweet solitude
Away from the noise and streetlights
Staring through my window at night
Looking at my own reflection
My tears are rolling in one direction
This lonely feeling I endure
Such pain only death can cure
Oh solitude
My sweet solitude
I miss the times when all looked fresh and green
When all things beautiful where first seen
The world without its gloom
Now my memories fill this room
I sit and stare at this TV screen
Watching programs I have already seen
Oh solitude
My sweet solitude
instrumental
Oh solitude
My sweet solitude
I have to say goodbye
Walk this road or at least I`ll try
Your needs hinder me to love
To pray to the Dear Lord above
You keep me from my baby blue
It`s time to say farewell to you!
Oh Solitude
My sweet solitude
