Solace
In the morning falling snow
Is transforming all I know
And all is new today
In my heart it overflows
Through the change I under go
And nothing’s the same
Yeah I find solace in your eyes
Can’t face the silence from your side
The sky is starless, ease the darkness
Through the night till the morning light
I will glorify your name
I will watch over your flame
I will keep on the track of my youth
This I’ll undertake
For I’m suddenly awake
There’s no way back
Yeah I find solace in your eyes
Can’t face the silence from your side
The sky is starless, ease the darkness
Through the night till the morning light
I was lost and I was found
Was a shadow under ground
Never knew where I was found
Until you came around
Tender is the night
As you sing a lullaby
To the darkness
Yeah I find solace in your eyes
Can’t face the silence from your side
The sky is starless, ease the darkness
Through the night till the morning light
I find solace in your eyes
Can’t face the silence from your side
The sky is starless, ease the darkness
Through the night till morning light
Song Notes
Another track written and recorded during the Meltdown album sessions, but narrowly missed the final cut. The band felt they only had room for one ballad on the album and went with “Starcrossed” instead. It had the working title “Buffalo Song”. Two versions were recorded, another version was to feature on a film soundtrack but never materialised. Mark said of the song during the writing of Meltdown:
This has potential for greatness. It’s a bit like a heavy “I’m Gonna Fall” with one big phat chorus.
