Border - Solitude Lyrics

Solitude

Candles flicker in dim light, shadows dancing on the wall
Your heart's waltzing alone tonight, to the silence down the hall
Through the window, a pale moon, a quiet city's lonesome tune
Drifting slowly through the air, the weight of solitude to bear
Every whisper in the dark, an echo of your own heart
A solo dance, a quiet plea, yearning for sweet company
Echoes in your room at night, whispers where there's no one near
Solitude hangs by your side, hoping for someone to hear
I feel the ache when you sigh, loneliness that you can't hide
Let my song draw you near, close the space of your lonely fear
Ooh, who'll sing for you softly, softly
In your ear, in your ear?
In your eyes, there's a mist, from the clouds you can't dismiss
Lost in dreams, bittersweet, where the past and present meet
On those streets, walking slow, faces that you used to know
Now they're just a memory, fading into history
Underneath the crowd's loud roar (loud roar)
You're hearing your own heart's core
Missing touches, laughter's grace
In the crowd, you're still alone, out of place
Wishing on a falling star (falling star)
For that warmth to heal the scar
Ooh, and in the crowd you plead (you plead)
For a glance, a touch you need
Beneath the noise, you just yearn
For a love and its sweet return
Ooh, who'll sing for you softly, softly
In your ear, in your ear?
In the mirror's gaze (mirror's gaze)
You paint a smile to face the day
Yet reflections know the cost
Of all the warmth that you have lost
And as the sun begins to set (begins to set)
You're the silhouette that's left
