Nora McCarthy: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

One of the first songs I wrote as a newly independent woman, trying to make her way in this world as a singer. I wrote this song in less than an hour at 3:00 am - I had the blues.

HOLIDAY FROM LOVE
Music/Lyrics: Nora McCarthy ©1993

I am so much in love with you,
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I am so much in love with you,
so in love, so in love,
that you're all I'm thinking of,
got to get away,
take a holiday, from love.

I am so hopelessly into you,
I'm lonely and I'm feeling blue.
I am sick and I am tired of being used,
hopelessly into you,
sick and tired of being blue,
got to get away,
take a holiday, from love.

If I go to the place where you are,
I'm never going to reach my star.
If I travel near or travel very far,
where you are, where you are,
I will wonder whre you are,
got to get away,
take a holiday, from love.

Please don't phone, I'm not home to you,
I've got no more to say that's new.
No more words, I have no more to say to you,
Nothing new, nothing new,
nothing more to do with you,
got to get away,
take a holiday, from love.
