Nina Simone - Solitude lyrics

(1934) Eddie Delange, Irving Mills, Duke Ellington

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 ev'rywhere

I sit and I stare

I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude

I'm praying

Dear Lord above

Send back my love

Original lyric

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

I'm filled with despair

There's no one could be so sad

With gloom ev'rywhere

I sit and I stare

I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude

I'm praying

Dear Lord above

Send back my love
