Solace Lyrics - The Sting: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - 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
