Lyrics The Black Swan - Nina Simone

The Black Swan

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?
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
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
