Duke Ellington
Solitude
In my solitude, you haunt me
With reveries of the days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

I sit in my chair, filled with despair
No one could be so sad
Everywhere I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude, I'm praying
Dear Lord above, send me back my love

I sit in my chair, filled with despair
I know that no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude, I'm praying
Dear Lord above, send me back my love
Mmmm, send me back my love
