Solitary from Beyond Collaboration by Joedai Trobairitz & Troubadours

V1: beyond the mountain peaks
gold grasses make their stand
the clouds like dappled pearls
puffed steam leaked on demand

Pre-Chorus 1: and I cannot help but think about
the author of this plan
life is made more of a gift
for this solitary man

Chorus: solitary man…solitary man
since my time began…a solitary man

V2: I’ve walked to here alone
to watch the sun go down
I found a quiet peace
not a single soul around

Pre-Chorus 2: and I cannot help but wonder now
how short is one lifespan
all there is to see and learn
for one solitary man

Chorus:

Break:

Bridge: the secrets of the universe lie deep within the soul
in solitude I search the dark while shivering in the cold
a tiny flicker or nascent spark would light my grabbing hold
of the truths I would behold, the truths I could behold

V3: outside my vision scheme
trees stand and rivers flow
songs come so naturally
words all the children know

Pre-Chorus 3: and I cannot help but sing them out
as I now understand
one can be alone and yet not be
just a solitary man

Chorus:

Tag: solitary man…solitary man
solitary man, part of the plan
