Solace - Marvin Hamlisch

Some sign of forgiveness

Some form of release

Is all that she asks for

Is all that she needs

She waits for the day when

She feels more at ease

Some time to be careful

Some time left in peace

Cold stars of the future

Burn bright in the past

These moments of solace

They won’t last

They don’t last

You’re wasting the moment

Biding your time

No one got ahead

Standing in line

So something is over

Before it’s begun

So close you can taste it

But now it is gone

Cold stars of the future

Burn bright in the past

These moments of solace

They don’t last

They cannot last

You’re hoping for solace

Well, just look around

Everyone here is

Standing in line
