Nina Simone Silk&Soul Lyrics
1.Love O'love

Love o'love o'love o'love
Say love o'love o'love o'love
I had a love so pure so strong
I keep wondering just where my love went wrong
My love went wrong

I say why oh why won't love free me
Why o why won't love love free me
Oh untie my hands unchain my feet
And set my poos ol' body free

I... why must love keep me a slave oh
Why why must love keep me a slave
I can't help myself i ain't got no friends
It will take me take me straight to my grave
Love will take me straight to my grave


2.Consummation

(1967) nina simone

And now we are one
Let my soul rest in peace
At last it is done
My soul has been released
For thousands of years
My soul has roamed the earth
In search for you
So that someday i could give birth

To know joy, joy, joy, joy
Joy and peace is mine
Peace divine
And now we give thanks
Give thanks for each other
At peace forever
For it is done

At peace forever
For we are one


3.It Be's That Way Sometime


4.Cherish


5.Some Day


6.Go To Hell


7.Turn Me On

like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a light bulb in a dark room
I am siting 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 siting 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 your the one who turned me off
Now your the only one that can turn me back on
Uh
My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune
And my glass is waiting for some fresh ice-cubes
I'm just siting here waiting for you to come on
Back home and turn me own.


8.Look Of Love


9.Turning Point

Martha holmes

See the little brown girl
She's as old as me
She looks just like chocolate
Oh mummy can't you see

We are both in first grade
She sits next to me
I took care of her mum
When she skinned her knee

She sang a song so pretty
On the jungle jim
When jimmy tried to hurt her
I punched him in the chin

Mom can she come over
To play dolls with me
We could have such fun mum
Oh mum what'd you say

Why noy oh why not
Oh i see


10.I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free

Richard lamb, william taylor

And i wish i knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish that i could break
All the chains holding me
I wish i could say
All the things that i'd like to say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
I wish i could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove every doubt
It keeps us apart
And i wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
Every man should be free

I wish i could live

Like i'm longin' to live
I wish i could give
What i'm longin' to give
And i wish i could do
All the things i'd like to do
You know they'll still miss part of you
Yes sir...
And i'm way way over due

I wish i could be like a bird up in the sky
How sweet it would be
If i found out i could fly
So long to my song
And look down upon ihe sea
And i sing because i know
I would see you
I sing because i know
I would see you
And i sing because i know
I would see you
To be free yea
