From the recording THE EDGE OF SOMEWHERE
Lyrics
SOLITUDE<br />
<br />
Solitude, that silent sanctuary,<br />
Has hair autumn and cherry,<br />
Falling in ribbons so curled.<br />
<br />
Solitude, that silent sanctuary,<br />
Is where we come to bury<br />
All the troubles of the world.<br />
<br />
Please, please, don’t be rude;<br />
Don’t ever intrude<br />
On my solitude.<br />
<br />
Solitude, that silent sanctuary,<br />
Approach it and be wary;<br />
I cannot share it with you.<br />
<br />
Solitude, that silent sanctuary,<br />
Reproach is but temporary<br />
While you’re taught to bear the truth.<br />
<br />
Please, please, don’t be rude;<br />
Don’t ever intrude<br />
On my solitude.<br />
<br />
Solitude, that silent sanctuary,<br />
Strengthens the visionary,<br />
Strings him some of wisdom’s pearls.<br />
<br />
Solitude, that silent sanctuary,<br />
Lengthens the necessary,<br />
Shrinks the insults that life hurls.<br />
<br />
Please, please, don’t be rude;<br />
Don’t ever intrude<br />
On my solitude.<br />
<br />
Solitude, that silent sanctuary,<br />
Cares not for arbitrary<br />
With whom she grants admittance.<br />
<br />
Solitude, that silent sanctuary,<br />
Shares hot tales cautionary<br />
For an unheard of pittance.<br />
<br />
Please, please, don’t be rude;<br />
Don’t ever intrude<br />
On my solitude.<br />
<br />
Solitude, that silent sanctuary,<br />
Brings more than momentary<br />
Bliss to her loyal members.<br />
<br />
Solitude, that silent sanctuary,<br />
Springs evolutionary<br />
Warm kisses from the embers.<br />
<br />
Please, please, don’t be rude;<br />
Don’t ever intrude<br />
On my solitude.<br />
<br />
Please, please, don’t be rude;<br />
Don’t ever intrude<br />
On my solitude.<br />
<br />
