From The Window of Some Far Away Hotel

hey can i say hello

would that be alright with you

maybe it can wait

you know it's not too late for the truth

 

and oh my song has told

me other things about you

i hope it's not too long

better to write things out

before they go wrong

 

spend what you can think

on the money that'll get you through

stop, but don't you repeat

everything before your next move

 

i hope it all goes well for you

you won't see me coming

and i won't see you come through

it's too close this time for me to tell

from the window of some far away hotel

 

smoke gathers on the big glass pane

i can't see outside but i feel it's starting to rain

thoughts thrown across the floor

start to bring me back to what i was before

 

patience is the key

but it's stored so far away

i can't find my coat

it's dark outside

and i can't think of what to say

 

and when the big man rings that big ole bell

i'll be staring out the window of some far away hotel

waiting for you all the time in some far away hotel
