Solitary Man
Solitary man in shadows without a face
I blush with lonely sting of longing from your eyes
With every reluctant step I falter my pace
How many times, my love, you've seen me passing by?
Do you remember when you saw me in the square?
I dropped my packages and quickly by my side..
You came to assist...but suddenly she was there
The sigh of pain that crossed our fate was in your eyes
Why fate is cruel, my love, that we may never meet?
I've walked this way in loneliness a thousand days
I know each pebble, stone, and crack upon your street
You stay imprisoned, like a wild bird in a cage
