Solitude

Nina Simone · Eclectic Collection [2003]

In my solitude you haunt me

With reveries of days gone by

In my solitude you taunt me

With memories that never die



I sit in my chair

filled with despair

nobody could be so sad

with gloom everywhere

I sit and I stare

I know, I know that I'll soon go mad



In my solitude

I'm praying

Dear Lord above

Send back my love



(I sit in my chair,

filled with despair,

no one could be so sad

Gloom everywhere,

I sit and I stare,

I know that I'll soon go mad)



In my solitude

I'm praying

Dear Lord above

Send me back my love
