H Suzanne, η Nina Simone και οι ιστορίες της

'Τις διηγείται' ο Ανδρέας Άνθιμος

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river

NINA SIMONE: SUZANNE

You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever

NINA SIMONE - DO NOTHIN' TILL YOU HEAR FROM ME

And you know that she's half-crazy but that's why you want to be there

NINA SIMONE: FOR ALL WE KNOW

And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China

NINA SIMONE//// COME ON BACK JACK

And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her

NINA SIMONE - IT DON'T MEAN A THING

Then he gets you on her wavelength

And she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover

NINA SIMONE - CRY ME A RIVER

And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind

And you know that she will trust you

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

NINA SIMONE - DONT YOU PAY THEM NO MIND
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water

NINA SIMONE - TAKE ME TO THE WATER
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower

NINA SIMONE - JUST IN TIME
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him

NINA SIMONE - THE MORE I SEE YOU
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them

NINA SIMONE - I WISH I KNEW HOW IT WOULD FEEL TO BE FREE
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open

NINA SIMONE - YOU'VE BEEN GONE TOO LONG
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

HUMAN TOUCH- NINA SIMONE

And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
And you think you maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with her mind

Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river

HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS - NINA SIMONE

She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters

RAGS AND OLD IRON - NINA SIMONE

And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor

NINA SIMONE - HERE COMES THE SUN
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers

NINA SIMONE - THE LOOK OF LOVE

There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning

NINA SIMONE - CHILDREN GO WHERE I SEND YOU

They are leaning out for love and they wil lean that way forever

NINA SIMONE - IN LOVE IN VAIN

While Suzanne holds her mirror

NINA SIMONE - I HOLD NO GRUDGE

And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind

NINA SIMONE *THATS ALL I WANT FROM YOU*

And you know that you can trust her

NINA SIMONE: I SING JUST TO KNOW THAT I'M ALIVE

For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

HUMAN TOUCH | LIVE NINA SIMONE
