Billie Holiday - DEEP SONG (Billie Holiday - The Complete Decca Sessions)
George Cory / Douglass Cross
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
It's 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 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

Do you like what Charlie Haden did with splicing this song into his version? I thought it was very moving.

Great Billie Holiday recording. Sounds around mid 1940's. Mood is set from beginning with shudder of brass. No other could interpret the lyric as well as LaHoliday. A jazz giant for the ages.
