Solomon Lyrics - Tina Arena

In the distance 

Hidden from sight - patiently 

Waiting for me 

Part of the night - enemy mine 

This horizon 

Darkness and light - opposites 

Drawn together, one forever 

Wrong and the right - enemy mine 

Now is the time to decide...... 

Don't answer me with the same old questions 

Don't patronise with those tired old solutions 

I've heard these before, I've been here before 

Don't pay me back with the same old deceptions 

Don't give me facts 

and predictable suggestions 

I've heard these before, I've been here before 

Then you're screaming all the time 

You don't listen any more 

When you threw out the hope 

with the dustbin liners 

You were standing alone 

with your coat of kindness 

Covered in mud - it was soaked in my blood 

When you fed me to the lions 

in your personal arena 

And you watched till the cries 

and the prayers grew weaker 

Head in my hands - Dripping tears in the sand 

The roar of the lions 

As the victim lies damned and alone....... 

When agony comes 

more from hope than failure 

Look further than 

your preconceptions, 

expectations 

Where the power 

of the mind can 

take you out 

beyond this reach 

Higher than the dull 

and simple world you 

know so well 

Back to paradise....... 

Who keeps the child - Tell 

me which is the mother? 

The need in her eye, 

and the eyes of the other 

and I've seen this before, 

I've been here before 

Cut the child in half, 

give a piece to each woman 

A desparate chance, 

the last hope has fallen 

Just like before, 

I've felt this before 

And the gurgles of laughter 

are 

echoes once more in my 

heart 

So I lie down in my mothers arms 

And I cry in my mothers arms, praying 

Praying for the end to come..... 

A friend to come and rescue me - right now 

So I listen to my mother's voice 

And I listen to the 

Only choice she had to make 

Living fear cold and naked 

Throw me away? Don't throw me away 

"Take the child - it's yours!" 

Was the only thing she could have said..... 

Does it matter to you? 

In the lion's cage we're all the same 

Does it matter to you? 

It's a child's game with a child's name 

Does it matter to you? 

If I place the blame upon your shoulders 

Don't try to fool the world 

Don't try to rule the world again..... 

Throw away my life in the fireplace 

With the old love letters 

And the Nottingham laces; 

Trying to forget the warm embraces 

Video suppers and the funny faces 

Does it matter to you? 

Does it matter to you? 

Does it matter to you? 

Does it matter at all?
