Solitude

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Morning light filters through steaming cups
Watching faces pass and pause
In this corner by the window pane
I'm learning how to disappear
[Chorus]
Sipping slowly, sitting still
Pages turning, time to kill
Finding freedom in this foreign space
I'm learning how to be alone in French
[Verse 2]
Madame brings croissants, "Merci beaucoup"
Paper tablecloths painted with prayers
Businessmen with baguettes rush by
While artists linger, lost in thought
Looking through the looking glass
[Pre-chorus]
Every morning, different faces
Same routine in different places
Morning becomes afternoon
Afternoon becomes alive
[Chorus]
Sipping slowly, sitting still
Pages turning, time to kill
Finding freedom in this foreign space
I'm learning how to be alone in French
[Bridge]
Letters home remain unwritten
Maps unfolded, plans uncertain
But in this blessed solitude
I find myself renewed
(Find myself renewed)
[Verse 3]
Now I understand the art of waiting
Reading faces like a foreign phrase
In the space between the silverware
Where minutes melt like morning rain
I've found my place
[Chorus]
Sipping slowly, sitting still
Pages turning, time to kill
Finding freedom in this foreign space
I'm learning how to be alone in French
(Learning to be alone)
(Learning to be free)
