"Deep Song" lyrics
(originally by Billie Holiday)
Lonely grief is hounding me
Like the lonely shadow hounding me
It's always there, just out of sight
Like a fragling tree on a lightening night
Lonely wind cries out my name
Sad as haunted music in the rain
Born of grief and born of woe
But I hear it call and I've got to go
Where can I be headed for?
The blues call in my north to lick my heart once more
Love lives in a lonely land
Where there's no helping hand to understand
Why does it bring this hate to me?
Why? It don't matter why
I only know misery
Has to be a part of me
Never hope to count on love
To be a partner of that heaven above
Never hope to understand
Love is a barrel land, a lonely land
A lonely land
Like the lonely shadow hounding me
It's always there, just out of sight
Like a fragling tree on a lightening night
Lonely wind cries out my name
Sad as haunted music in the rain
Born of grief and born of woe
But I hear it call and I've got to go
Where can I be headed for?
The blues call in my north to lick my heart once more
Love lives in a lonely land
Where there's no helping hand to understand
Why does it bring this hate to me?
Why? It don't matter why
I only know misery
Has to be a part of me
Never hope to count on love
To be a partner of that heaven above
Never hope to understand
Love is a barrel land, a lonely land
A lonely land
