Nina Simone — Black Swan

[Verse] The sun is falling and it lies in blood The moon is weaving bandages of gold O black swan, where oh where is my lover now? Where oh where is my lover now? Torn and tattered is my bridal gown and my lamp is lost With silver needles and with silver threads The stars stitch a shroud for the dying sun O black swan, where oh where is my lover now? [Bridge] I had given him a kiss of fire and a golden ring And a golden ring I had given him a kiss of fire and a golden ring Oh, oh, oh, oh, with silver needles and with silver threads The stars stitch a shroud for the dying sun [Outro] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, black wing Oh, oh, oh, oh, black wing, take me down with you Take me down with you, take me down with you Take me down with you O black swan take me down with you I had given him a kiss of fire Take me down with you
