NINA SIMONE - Black Swan lyrics

rate me

(1947) gian carlo menotti<br><br>The sun is falling and it lies in blood<br>The moon is weaving bandages of gold<br>Old black swan where oh where is my lover now<br>Where oh where is my lover now<br><br>Torn and tattered is my bridal gown and my lamp is lost<br>With silver needles and with silver threads<br>The stars stitch a route for the dying sun<br>Old black swan where oh where is my lover now<br><br>I had given him a kiss and a golden ring<br>And a golden ring<br>I had given him a kiss of fire and a golden ring<br>Oh with silver needles and with silver threads<br>The stars stitch a route for the dying sun<br><br>Black wing o black wing take me down with you<br>Take me down with you take me down with you<br>Take me down with you<br>Old black swan take me down with you<br>I had given him a kiss of fire<br>Take me down with you
