I Have A Need For Solitude Lyrics - Age Of Miracles - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I have a need 

For solitude 

I'll never be 

Safe in crowded rooms 

I like the sound 

Of silence coming on 

I come around 

When everyone has gone 

I have a need 

For cool, verdant spaces 

Beneath the trees 

Secret empty places 

Nobody knows 

So no one will intrude 

I have a need 

For solitude

But you can find me, when the light is changing 

At that time of day when there's 

Little day remaining 

You can find me where I've been waiting 

Waiting here for you 

I never was 

The pretty girl in school 

I never was 

Fast, tough and cool 

All I was 

All my life it seems 

Was hard to love 

Harder now to keep 

But you can find me, when the light is changing 

At that time of day when there's 

Little day remaining 

Photos 

I have a need 

For solitude 

I'll never be 

Safe in crowded rooms 

I like the sound 

Of silence coming on 

I come around when all the rest have gone...
