Holly (One Night Stand) Songtext
von Noel Paul Stookey

Holly went ragged, in a public telephone
She blew her connection miles away from home
And she remembered a promise that was made so long ago
And Holly smiled like a child to find out it really was so


I′ve been on a mountain and I've been in the sea
But I have never felt the like of what′s come over me
It's a room without a ceiling; it's a road without an end
A rainbow ′round my shoulder I can call a friend
And it′s a one night stand
You ought to catch it when you can
I know the bird is in you hand
But did you look in the bush?
Do you need a little push?

Distances are made up by people far apart
Somebody told me it's covered in the heart
If you want an answer to your private mystery
Don′t forget the best thing in life is free
It's a one night stand, you ought to catch it when you can
It′s not an ordinary plan, you might say it's unique
Do you need a little peek?

It′s a one night stand
You ought to catch it when you can
I see the bird is in your hand
But did you look in the bush?
Do you need a little push?
