Testo Solitude

I've been waitin' for warmer weather
All though this tardy, cold spring
I've been waitin' for time together
Despite the perils this virus brings
Will this fear of nearin' others
Infect our lives at long last
Will the hug between friends and family
Be a habit that is lost from the past
We can wish for smiles and closeness
We can hope for a touch so renewed
But as long as this death do so haunt us
We're left in our solitude
Ah

Will the boredom of isolation
Be the doldrums of life's new routine
As a wind dies near the equator
And leaves us in seas unforeseen
But my eyes turn toward the heavens
In hope of a joy now returned
And hope for the healthy recovery
For those who lay bedded and spurned
We can wish for smiles and closeness
We can hope for a touch so renewed
But as long as this death do so haunt us
We're left in our solitude
Ah

As my heart longs for summer evenings
My mind's eye a vision of peace
Where death has been dealt such an arrow
Where hatred and strife have ceased
My hope is for such a kind future
Where truth is not turned into doubt
Where lies are not routinely spoken
Where falsehood is brought to a rout
Ah

We can wish for smiles and closeness
We can hope for a touch so renewed
But as long as this death do so haunt us
We're left in our solitude

I've been waitin' for warmer weather
All though this tardy, cold spring
