Solitude Songtext
von Peter Hammill

Silently, I rest in the tall green grass
And look steadily upward
Birds sing ceaselessly around me
And the blue of the sky surrounds me strangely

Out here, life is at its essence
And watches the world with innocent eyes
Far from grime, far from rushing people
It seems that I have found a tiny peace


On the blue backdrop of the unknown
Water droplets trace their paths
On the sky, mortals hang on metal
But who is to know how long either will last?

The lovely white clouds glide
Across the sky and into my dreams
I feel as though I had died some time ago
Now I′ll wander with the clouds through eternal space
Now I'll wander with the clouds through eternal space
Now I′ll wander with the clouds through eternal space
