The solo is very simple, it's after the bridge at the end

of the song and is continually played until the sound

fades away.

So here's the whole song:

There is a dream

I used to have

My dream swallowed me whole

There is a bridge

Where I hate to go

That is where I first saw her

High on the bridge

I've seen her

Red hair shining

There is a girl

I never knew

She was my aunt Viginia

They said that she

she just disappeared

They said I looked just like her

High on the bridge

I've seen her

Dancing and waving to me there

She smiled and raised her head

and she took to the air

The is a dream

I can't escape

My memories come back to me

There is a hell

I can't escape

My memories come back to me

I hear the truth about it

pictures and headlines

Hidden away

I heard the truth about my real mom

Jumping from the bridge that day

Now I know why ever since I was three years old

been having the same nightmare

Now I know the truth about Virginia

and why she took to the air

Well that's about all of it.
