Solitude (1965)
Lonnie Johnson · The Unsung Blues Legend [2000]
In my solitude you taunt me,
With memories that never die.
In my solitude you haunt me,
With memories that never die.
I sit in my chair, and I'm filled with despair.
There's no one but me so sad.
With gloom ev'rywhere, each night I climb the stairs,
Knowing I'll soon go mad.
In my solitude, I'm praying,
Dear above, send back my love.
I sit in my chair, and I'm filled with despair.
How could anyone be so sad?
Gloom ev'rywhere, I sit and I stare.
Knowing I'll soon go mad.
In my solitude, I'm praying
Dear Lord, send back my love.
With memories that never die.
In my solitude you haunt me,
With memories that never die.
I sit in my chair, and I'm filled with despair.
There's no one but me so sad.
With gloom ev'rywhere, each night I climb the stairs,
Knowing I'll soon go mad.
In my solitude, I'm praying,
Dear above, send back my love.
I sit in my chair, and I'm filled with despair.
How could anyone be so sad?
Gloom ev'rywhere, I sit and I stare.
Knowing I'll soon go mad.
In my solitude, I'm praying
Dear Lord, send back my love.
