Dear Solitude

May I hold you closely? Against the pounding in my chest Keep me now, please keep me now Did you ever know me To live in fear of loneliness? We have come, now we have come Did they leave so quickly? Abandoned every one Never leave me would you Dear solitude, I'm always yours sincerely The only truth A life in my own company Never leave me would you Dear solitude, I ask for your forgiveness I need from you A piece of mind to comfort me Feel my arms, I feel my arms 'Round every whisper To keep my very countenance Hear the sounds, I hear the sounds But dark and empty faces Were all I found Never leave me would you Dear solitude, I'm always yours sincerely The only truth A life in my own company
