Suzanne Vega "Solitude Standing"

Solitude stands by the window
She turns her head as I walk in the room
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
and she turns to me with her hand extended
[her] palm is split with a flower, with a flame

Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
by her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
and she turns to me with her hand extended
(her) palm is split with a flower with a flame

and she says "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
and she says "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
and she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
and I said, "I never thought of finding you here"

and I turn to the crowd as they're watching
They're sitting all together in the dark, in the warm
I wanted to be in there, among them
I see how their eyes are gathered into one

Then she turns to me with her hand extended
[her] palm is split with a flower, with a flame

and she says "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
and she says "l've come to lighten this dark heart"
and she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
and I said, "I never thought of finding you here"

Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
by her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
and she turns to me with her hand extended
[her] palm is split with a flower, with a flame

Peter Murphy "Indigo Eyes" (Happy Birthday version)

Subtly modified Peter Murphy “Indigo Eyes” lyrics - as Anna hears or would hear them! ;-)

Fire burning in a hill,
the lines are rocky rough.
Red angels wait to pick remains.
The cindered shoulder
of confused men ...
Separate from there: their awe.
With grey desire,
he looks out (mad) his soft grey indigo eyes.
Indigo eyes … asking ...
His heaven is uncovered not,
a black tree blocks his way.
His way is skating ‘round a dome -
his way is in dismay.
The playmate sings
like Orphee in some thunder world,
asking to be bathed in light,
to be exemplified.
Like Orphee in some thunder world,
asking to be taken light,
to be exemplified.
With grey desire he looks out (mad) his soft grey indigo eyes.
Saw his past,
he had dug for trust,
with blind infected hands.
And wondered as the hurt bit hard,
why the sacred weren't at hand.
Only when his ears were deaf
to the angels’ light burst waves -
Only when his ears were deaf
did life turn from fog to fog.
But not evil, but estranged -
but not evil, but [dismayed] estranged.
Indigo eyes, Indigo eyes,
Indigo eyes, Indigo eyes.
With grey desire he looks out (mad) his soft grey indigo eyes, indigo eyes ...
