Billie Holiday - The Complete Decca Recordings

Deep Song - Single Version

Lonely grief is hounding me
Like a lonely shadow, hounding me
It's always there just out of sight
Like a frightening breeze on a lightning night

Lonely wind cries out my name
Sad as haunted music in the rain
It's borne of grief and borne of woe
But I hear it call and I've got to go

Where can I be headed for?
The blues crawl at my door
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 ache to me?
Why? It don't matter why
I only know misery
Has to be part of me

Never hope to count on love
To be a partner of that heaven up above
Never hope to understand
Love is a barren land
A lonely land
A lonely land
