Company of Nightmares (Billie Holiday)

I need time
To feel sorry about myself
I need memories
To keep me alive
In the gloom
Of these rainy days
I need loneliness
To survive
Gradually I’ll start

To let go
What I feel inside
And begin to understand
Some of the things you say
Though I’m not much good
At staying quiet in yours arms
And still prefer
The mere company of nightmares
