Solitude
Echoes of Longing: Kenny Burrell's Melancholic Solitude
Lyrics
In my solitude
In a state of being alone and contemplative
You haunt me
Your presence lingers in my thoughts
With dreadful ease
Causing distress effortlessly
Of days gone by
Recalling times that have passed
In my solitude
Alone, you mock or challenge me
You taunt me
Provoking with memories
With memories
Recollections that endure
That never die
Never fading away
I sit in my chair
Sitting in a chair
And filled with despair
Overwhelmed by hopelessness
There's no one could be so sad
No one could feel such sorrow
With gloom everywhere
Surrounded by darkness
I sit and I stare
Sitting and staring
I know that I'll soon go mad
Anticipating madness
In my solitude
Isolation intensifies fear
I'm afraid
Expressing apprehension
Dear Lord above
Addressing a higher power
Send back my love
Plead for the return of lost love
I sit in my chair
Sitting again in despair
Filled with despair
Overwhelmed by hopelessness (repeated)
There's no one, no one
No one is there
No onecould be so sad
No one could feel such sorrow (repeated)
With gloom everywhere
Surrounded by darkness (repeated)
I sit and I stare
Sitting and staring (repeated)
I know that I'll soon go mad
Anticipating madness (repeated)
In my solitude
Isolation intensifies fear (repeated)
I'm afraid
Expressing apprehension (repeated)
Dear Lord above
Addressing a higher power (repeated)
Send back my love
Plead for the return of lost love (repeated)
