Terry Callier - Blues for Billie Holiday lyrics

Like an angel she could sing But she had a broken wing What a heavy price to pay This here's the blues for Billie Holliday Simple gowns all she'd wear With one gardenia in her hair I remember her that way This is the blues for Billie Holliday Her heart was always on her sleeve All too soon she had to leave Like a child she went astray I sing the blues for Billie Holliday I just heard her voice again Like an echo in the wind Man, there's nothin' left to say I sing the blues for Billie Holliday
