LIFE & LOVE · Released 26 July 2021

Lyrics

It’s time to leave the maddening crowd behind me Up ahead, I can see something It’s my old friend, long time since I’ve seen him… Solitude Help me bear the load I carry, blow away these clouds of confusion Keep me on the road I travel, help me to see through life’s delusions Becalm this storm and I will find a way Safe and sound and warm through darkness into day Oh solitude….let’s slip away… I’m in the middle of something I don’t understand Cluttered small talk, commotion everywhere at hand Oh my old friend, it’s times like this I need you …Solitude When I’m stumbling and wondering just what to do You’re the one thing, the something, that pulls me through You give direction in times I don’t know what is true I need reflection….you know I always come to you. Help me bear the load I carry, blow away these clouds of confusion Keep me on the road I travel, help me to see through life’s delusions Becalm this storm and I will find a way Safe and sound and warm through darkness into day Oh solitude….let’s slip away… Solitude, all I want to do is just be with you.. Solitude

About the song

I wrote this about the comfort and solace of being alone. Sometimes it’s just what we need to clear our heads, gather our thoughts and see our way forward through our problems.
