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
