Holiday Story

It's that face of his That hallway wall alleyway way of his Dreamed you grew a beard and wore a hat Like a brunette Dr. Eugene Scott But I recognized you Cause you were still a little brat Well, I heard that long lost laugh Through the monitors and floors, elevator doors And you're still ringing in my ears The longest stay in the shortest day After all them years In another life In the deep, deep heart of Texas With its big and lonely star I'm in that other nation Travelling bar to bar Down that unhappy trail I follow it every day I don't know where you are But I, I wish you'd go away I wish you'd go away [Chorus] On holiday Holiday Holiday Holiday Now the lights of your town Attack my nightgown The Billie Holiday Story Batteries have gone down So, I went to Milwaukee But they were out of beer So I walked to New York But no one was there No one was there [Chorus] It's a Billie Holiday And I know you're closed But sometimes you're the only place I can go The only place I can go On holiday Holiday Holiday Holiday Oh, It's a Billie Holiday And I know you're closed But sometimes you're the only place I can go The only place I can go On holiday Holiday Holiday Holiday Holiday Holiday
