Broadway Hotel
Al Stewart You told the man in the Broadway Hotel Nothing was stranger than being yourself Love was a rollaway And he replied, with a tear in his eye Mist on a summer's day Nothing was clear Love was a smile away Just a cajole away Just a defile away I sought it every way No Then he replied as he gave you the key Nothing was said as he stared at his shoe You asked the man for a room with a view Love was a rollaway Just an unfold away That's all there is to say No Alone in your room you hide In the street outside as the night rolls by And you feel over the words he said Till they turn to rain all around your head. You're seeking a hideaway Doesn't touch your face Where the light of day And a doorBehind the shades Of your silent day. Room service came at the push of a bell You made your home in the Broadway Hotel And the man said as he put down the tray Just a reveal away I tried to find a way Love was a stealaway Nothing was clear Then as he turned away You asked the man to stay He was there all the day -------------------------------------------No-one came near. |
