in the night with study books and wonderful Nina Simone

i just love Nina so much, her own songs, her covers. Such an amazing voice, such a performance, such feeling and soul. and the lyrics in all these songs, so reflecting on feelings of my own both now and then and sometimes. Dr. Nina Simone, may her soul rest in peace and may her songs forever spread their greatness on this earth Like a flower waiting to bloom
like a light bulb in a dark room
I am sitting here waiting for you to come home and turn me on
like the desert waiting for rain
like a school kid waiting for spring
I am sitting here waiting for you to come back home and turn me on
My poor heart, it's been so dark
since you've been gone
after all you're the one who turned me off
now you're the only one that can turn me back on
uh
my hi-fi's waiting for a new tube
and my glass is waiting for some fresh ice-cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come on
back home and turn me on.



Ev'ry time we say goodbye
I die a little,
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little,
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
They think so little of me
They allow you to go.
Oh oh oh when you're near
There's such an air
Of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer,
But how strange the change
From major to minor...
Ev'ry time
Ev'ry time
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
