Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics)
In my solitude
You haunt me
With dreadful ease
Of days gone by.

In my solitude
You taunt me
With memories
That never die.

I sit in my chair,
Filled with despair,
There’s no one could be so sad;
With gloom everywhere,
I sit and I stare,
I know that I’ll soon go mad.

In my solitude
I’m praying,
"Dear lord above,
Send back my love."
