Solitude
Blue water faded to black
It was Texas tea
She haunted me, had no choice
Headed for the sea
Out there I was rocked and tossed
Night and day for three
Till I found the unknown isle
That would set me free
Her name: solitude
She lived all alone with me
Then I built a raft
And bid her farewell one day
I wrote about it
It made me rich and famous
Beauty came my way
But she didn't plan to stay
Only came to play
So I gave it all away
