Nina Simone - Black Swan Lyrics:

Lyrics to Black Swan by Nina Simone: Correct These Lyrics


The sun has fallen and it lies in blood
The moon is weaving bandages of gold
Oh Black Swan, where oh where is my lover gone
Torn and tattered is my bridal gown
And my lamp is lost, and my lamp is lost

With silver needles and with silver thread
The stars stitch a route for the dying sun
Oh black swan where oh where is my lover gone
I have given him a kiss of fire and a golden ring, and a golden ring

Come to hear your lover moan
Eyes of glass and feet of stone
Shells for teeth and weighs for tongue

Deep deep down in the rivers bed he’s looking for the ring
Eyes wide open never asleep
He’s looking for the ring, looking for he ring

The spools unraveled and the needles break
The sun is buried and the stars weep
Oh black wing oh black wing
Take me down with you
I will share with you my golden hair
And my bridal crown, and my bridal crown

Oh take me down with you
Take me down to my wondering lover with my child unborn
With my child unborn


This is an aria from the opera The Medium by Gian Carlo Menotti (music and libretto).
Opened on 1947 at Ethel Barrymore Theater on Broadway, The Medium was made into a motion picture in 1951, won a price at the Film Festival of Cannes in 1952, and had a nominee for the Oscar Price in 1953, category "Best scoring of a musical picture".

Synopsis of The Medium. Madam Flora, her daughter Monica and Toby, the mute servant boy, prepare their shabby apartment with tricks to be used during the evening's seance. Mr and Mrs Gobineau arrive, regular clients, and Mrs Nolan, a widow coming for the first time. During the seance Mrs Nolan recognizes her dead daughter, but Madame Flora becomes hysterical when a cold hand seems to touch her throat; she suspects Toby, but he cannot answer her accusations. In the end, Madame Flora, after drinking heavily, shoots Toby in the dark, killing him.
