With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die
I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
Nobody could be so sad
With gloom ev'rywhere
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
[Billie Holiday, "Solitude" {Duke Ellington / Eddie DeLange / Irving Mills}, from Billie Holiday's Greatest Hits]
