Vega, Suzanne - Solitude Standing Lyrics
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
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
Solitude stands in the doorway
And 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 lighten this dark heart"
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I say "I've never thought of finding you here"
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
And 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 say "I've never thought of finding you here"
Solitude stands in the doorway
And 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

Vega, Suzanne Solitude Standing Comments
...again., sorry I took so long to fall for you. ....beautiful.
current mood: stereotyped and classified
Wow such a brain tweezing music..
I feel all wobbly inside... Whoooooooo
This is actually a well directed video
Wow here voice is the same as 1990 timeless....
Beautiful
One of the greatest lyrical triumphs of all time
beuatiful...
Class and quality
It's like you are singing into my ear. Unforgettable nuance. Brilliant song. Thank you, Suzanne.
Gorgeous. Simply real and mesmerizing. Time traveling now back to the 1980’s wearing Benetton perfume, holding my esprit book bag over one shoulder, with my black tights on.... pencil skirt on. Blouse with shoulder pads.... I’m there.
e não é que eu amei?
much better than Celine Dion !!!!
I hear God in her voice.
Strange artist but very talented; no none else sounds like her.
Ella Tenía una propuesta muy interesante, diferente y original. Lástima que no pudiera tener más presencia en años posteriores.
What a song!!!
Bravissima 👏👏👏👏. .
Hit of hits *Suzanne Vega Tom's Diner*
So hot and pretty
Very Good and haunting at the same time.
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
And 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 say "I've never thought of finding you here"
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
And 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 say "I've never thought of finding you here"
Solitude stands in the doorway
And 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
Your song has been copied by an Indian song "pehli baar mile hai"
Salman khan is hero in the movie
Yes but original is better
Where she is now ??
This song is never boring... listening continue I enjoying Everytime and fantastic song
I love Suzanne Vega
Am I the only one in 2019??
I am here Nusrat 😌 from BD
🇧🇩
I'm here too, smile from ear to ear :)
hello there I am from the future
Here 👋
No I am here too...bought this when it first came out.
Extraordinary song about feeling in a Strange happy/sad mood. The music and songwriting are phenomenal here.
The Police???? Its beautiful tune!!!!
A mind soothing song.
The syncopation, that 6 over 4 keyboard riff, the cool laid-back vocal style, the sickly and slickly talented band... my god, I love this song.
Has SV ever made a bad record? Not one song i can think of! Love the gentle voice, never harshz shouting or screaming, beautiful!
Wonderful Song, awkward music video - espacially the dumb 80s-like band in the background -.-
It's been the longest time since I've heard this. Ah, the memories it brings back.
Is this song about suicide? Because i see it as one. Omg
Beautifully understated vocals and movements typical of Suzanne Vega Great stuff - great story telling.
Yes, she DID do other songs besides "Tom's Diner" and "Luka" ;)
Suzanne is a modern day poet. Beautiful poetry to music.
Probably my favorite of the entire album. Loved Suzanne as a little girl, love her as a grown up woman. Such a beautiful voice!
Она была в MINSK BELARUS.
perfeck sound
I’ve always loved Suzanne Vega, back from when my roommate brought home her first album. Makes me want to dig out all of her other albums and make a mix CD!
These guys are rocking out WAY too hard. I expect more shoegaze.
Pehli baar mile hai..
pure and simple
I would give a Grammy For this Song👌👍
Its so old but still gold....👍👍and she is cool..... Nice...
Que som heim , muito bom
VINTAGE !!! thanks for posting !
A stunning dazzler mazzler you were fearfully created what nor withers nor toils simplest that's Best as light and darkness 🌕 🌑
A rare gem men God bless your hearts and May peace be with you let all your conversation be about him Jim 🍞
Watch the Shepard's chapel and learn this Dennis and Arnold are the best in the business of teaching god 📖⚠️😊🐑
like from 2019!
One of the greatest songs about the power of being alone. I understand it so much better now, than when it first came out.
It’s a nice song. No theatrics, an uninteresting vocal style bit isn’t she emblematic of women pre-Madonna? I speak as a woman but didn’t we need Madonna to finally propel women into pop royalty along with the men who occupied that post for so long.
Pehli baar mile he (saajan) is copied from this song +desimegamind
This song came out in 1987.
What an amazing Musician. I love seeing Her smiling. Thanks very much.
All time favourite #suzzanevega
goosebumps....what a music!
in the 80's all musicians feel the need to do a dance while playing instruments 😂😂😂😂
Super gay
Just beautiful
Schönes Lied
Hermosa SOng HErmosa Suzanne!!!

2019 baby
Hi suzzane :) eternity together forever in My new kingdom. I love u My little immortal appostle. ❤ 🌹God💋🙋
We all are missing our Childhood memories, The innocence we had,Sense Freedom we had.
I had very less friends so
I used to spend my most of the time with Insects and Plants for Hours until my Mom calls me for the food.
Hey!! Let's share some of our memories it could be anything. Let's do it.
😄
A being known as a "Wife-Boss"! Most never talk about such things. I do. A proper Wife is both Flower & Flame. A balanced Power. If she's all flower, it won't work, if she's all flame, I'll run like hell! She must be both life elements!!
2019? Anyone
Beautiful words, too. Now I can understand them...
Pehli bar mile hai milte hi Bollywood se Nafrat ho gayi..... 😂
Ohh my freeking god , why didn't i heard this song before
Am I the only one who is listening this song in 2019
no i was listening her box cds 8 months ago
I always heard Luka in the radio when boy, and never felt any special of that song at all.. but now just really cannot stop listening Suzanne.. Solitude Standing have become into my favorite song among so great music she did... I would liked to pay attention to Suzanne Vega before!!
the best of the underrated 80's folk-ish underlaying movement: suzanne vega, bruce cockburn, kate bush, lloyd cole and the commotions, the dream academy, the go betweens, aztec camera, indigo girls, prefab sprout... it was there finding its own way - while everyone was slam dancing to punk and new wave, these folks were keeping it real in the undertones...
Awesome 😁😁😁
I had forgotten how awesome she is.
GREAT TALENT
It's a Cute Boi...
That arpeggio sequence is absolutely beautiful..
We need to bring back mullets
2019? Anyone? 🤦🏻♂️
good point Moore. she's a minstrel, and not a diva. ¡viva la vega!
The band is over-energetic given the song
Wunderful Music! And she´s got so beautiful eyes, a super-model making super-music!
