Roots, The - Theme From The Middle Of The Night Lyrics






[Verse 1 - Nina Simone:]
Only the lonely love
Only the sad of soul
Wake and begin their day in the middle of the night
To breakfast on their pride
Where joys and tears just dried
To breakfast with the moon
In the middle of the night
Then to cut once more, my miserly hoard
Of your kisses in this darkness restored
To grasp your absent grace
In desperate embrace
To make your false heart true
Middle of the Night...The night

    @AvgJoe76 : Dude, me neither. And I have purchased than 60 Nina Simone songs, but never heard this jewel until the Roots album though.
