The Solitude

Navy blue, your eyes are on my mind I never viewed The solitude As something to avoid until you left The thoughts I hold Close to the chest For the most part, I'm unchanged But there's some things that are terribly strange Like, baby, when you're gone The night's too quiet Dinner table It's one sided Too many pillows Too big a bed Can't decide where to lay my head There's no denying, I'm trying Some things will never change Sometimes the silence can be cruel I wait alone Hear the neighbors phone Your keys are swinging on the rack We're hanging here 'Til you get back Moments alone uninterfered Can be so sweet but it's awfully weird When, baby, you're gone The night's so quiet Dinner table It's lopsided Too many pillows Too big a bed Can't decide where to lay my head And when you're gone My mind's divided Every choice left undecided I tend to linger I drag my feet Stillness is bittersweet There's no denying I'm trying Some things will never change A fool, couldn't ask for more I lost my cool, it's so easy to do But, baby, when you're gone The night's so quiet Dinner table It's one sided Too many pillows Too big a bed Can't decide where to lay my head And when you're gone My mind's divided Every choice left undecided I tend to linger I drag my feet Stillness is bittersweet There's no denying I'm trying Some things will never change Never change
