Deep Song
Journey Through Heartache: Billie Holiday's Deep Song Insights
Lyrics
Lonely grief is hounding me
Lonely grief is persistently tormenting me
Like the lonely shadow hounding me
Similar to a solitary shadow, loneliness follows me
It's always there just out of sight
Loneliness is always present, just beyond visibility
Like a fragling dream on a lightening night
Like a fleeting dream on a stormy night, fragile and elusive
Lonely wind cries out my name
The forlorn wind calls my name in solitude
Sad as haunted music in the rain
Sad and haunting music in the rain reflects my sorrow
It's born of grief and born of woe
This feeling is born out of grief and woe
But I hear it call and I've got to go
Despite the pain, I hear the call and feel compelled to respond
Where can I be headed for
Wondering where my journey is leading me
The blues call in my north
The blues beckon from the north, calling me
To lick my heart once more
To experience heartache once again
Love lives in a lonely land
Love resides in a desolate land
Where there's no helping hand to understand
Where no helping hand is available to comprehend
Why does it bring this hate to me
Questioning why hatred is brought to me
Why it don't matter why
It doesn't matter why; the cause is insignificant
I only know misery has to be part of me
I only know that misery is an integral part of me
Never hope to count on love
Abandoning hope in relying on love
To be a partner of that heaven above
To be a companion to the heavenly realm above
Never hope to understand
Never expecting to comprehend
Love is a barren land
Love is an unproductive and desolate expanse
A lonely land
In a lonely, isolated land
A lonely land
Reiterating that love exists in a lonely land
