Release: April 1, 1987

Lyrics:

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

And she turns to me with her hand extended

Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

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

And she turns to me with her hand extended

Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

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"

And I turn to the crowd as they′re watching

They're sitting all together in the dark in the warm

And I wanted to be in there among them

I see how their eyes are gathered into one

And then she turns to me with her hand extended

Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

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"

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

So out of nowhere, I stared to think about this kinda creepy song, and it reminded me of Alex. He'll never really be able to fit in at school because he's lived through so much and he can't even share it.
