In Solitude
Duke Ellington, Eddie DeLange, Irving Mills
I'm not the one to die for
Don't grieve for me
After I am gone
No one remembers
Let me die in solitude
Under pale grey clouds
Let me sleep forever
Six feet under ground
This life ain't what I wanted
Don't cry for me
I'm not worth your pain
I'm not worth your tears
I say goodbye
And raindrops taste like tears
In the pouring rain I stand and die alone
In my final hour
As I kneel on the leaves
I can feel a wave of warmth
Wash over me
Then it's really over
My earthly misery
I'm not to be remembered
Don't cry for me
