Intro

        

Verse

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

Chorus

And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

Break

    
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

Chorus

And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

Break

    

Post-Chorus

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"

Verse

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

Chorus

And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

Post-Chorus

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"

Verse

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

Chorus

And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
