Where she came from was hers to know. She was smart enough and determined she could learn Spanish and marry a rich man, or she could always be free and love as she wants.
Home would be a farm where Holly could raise horses with her brother, Fred. But Fred’s in the army and then she learns he was killed. So home is a broken place where a woman can love a cat or a man could love a woman.
Holly sings the song for Paul on their apartment balcony. Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer wrote the song for her. It’s in the soundtrack of my youth. I love the melody and the lyrics. Two drifters, off to see the world. It’s about the mythic childhood that none of us ever had, Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, drifting down the Mississippi.
