Artist/Band: Sathima Bea Benjamin
Lyrics for Song: Solitude
Lyrics for Album: A Morning In Paris [2008]



In my solitude


You haunt me


With dreadful ease


Of days gone by





In my solitude


You taunt me


With memories


That never die





I sit in my chair


And filled with despair


There's no one could be so sad


With gloom everywhere


I sit and I stare


I know that I'll soon go mad





In my solitude


I'm afraid


Dear Lord above


Send back my love


I sit in my chair





Filled with despair


There's no one, no one


No onecould be so sad


With gloom everywhere


I sit and I stare


I know that I'll soon go mad





In my solitude


I'm afraid


Dear Lord above


Send back my love


Solitude
