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)
