She has her solitude
She should be grieving
She felt relief when the Eulogy was read
Her life is now her own
She takes her freedom
Just like a thief she steals into her vacant bed
I don't know her
But I've a feeling I
Met her in a novel
Or in another life
She has her solitude
It's what she wanted
These years will be far better than the rest
She makes her plans alone
She is undaunted
If this is freedom what's this weight upon her chest
I don't know her
But I've a feeling I
Met her in a novel
Or in another life
The empty room watches like a vulture
The memories creep into her brain
The solitude that freed her now engulfs her
A loneliness that stings like acid rain
She has her solitude
And she is grieving
Not for the man who lies cold beneath the ground
But for one thing alone
The death of freedom
She understands that she would never be unbound
I don't know her
But I've a feeling I
Met her in a novel
Or in another life
She has her solitude

One violinist, one foolish grin
Two of the finest my eyes had ever seen
When I listened for him to begin
Out of his body it came resonating
Stay far away, oh break of day
Don't let this dream be ended
Stay far from me, just let me be
Forever here suspended
My heart was pounding, then skipped a beat
When for a moment I felt his smile on me
Then I floated out of my seat
Into the sound of his perfect Debussy
Stay far away, oh break of day
Don't let this dream be ended
Stay far from me, just let me be
Forever here suspended
I climbed into his head
And I bled when he bled
And I sighed when he cried
Then I was laughing instead
Stay far away, oh break of day
Don't let this dream be ended
Stay far from me, just let me be
Forever here suspended
One violinist, one foolish grin
Two of the finest my eyes had ever seen
When he finished I followed him
Out through the lobby and into his limousine
Stay far away, oh break of day
Don't let this dream be ended
Stay far from me, just let me be
Forever here suspended

I saw it in her eyes
In the downcast shadows
In the silent cries
The dark and heavy lines
Did all of your ladies
Live such agonizing lives
Turn of the century
Turn, look at the trail you left behind you
Now your son's sons sing
You've come a long way baby
I saw it in her hands
In the deep oppression
In her wedding band
Cuffed and bound in lace
To cover the tension
Of those agonizing days
Turn of the century
Turn, look at the trail you left behind you
Now your son's sons sing
You've come a long way baby
We've come all this way
We've got another turn up ahead
Will we recall this day
As just another turn in a journey with no end
Turn of the century
Turn, look at the trail you left behind you
Now your son's sons sing
You've come a long way baby
But there's a long way waiting
Such a long, long, long way waiting
You've come a long, come along, turn of the century
Turn, turn, turn
