Broadway Hotel Lyrics

Broadway Hotel lyrics

You told the man in the Broadway Hotel

 Nothing was stranger than being yourself

 And he replied, with a tear in his eye

 Love was a rollaway

 Just a cajole away

 Mist on a summer's day

 Nothing was clear

 Love was a smile away

 Just a defile away

 I sought it every way

 No-one came near.

 

 You asked  the man for a room with a view

 Nothing was said as he stared at his shoe

 Then he replied as he gave you the key

 Love was a rollaway

 Just an unfold away

 That's all there is to say

 No-one came near.

 

 Alone in your room you hide

 as the night rolls by

 In the street outside

 And you feel over the words he said

 Till they turn to rain all around your head.

 

 You're seeking a hideaway

 Where the light of day

 Doesn't touch your face

 And a door-sign keeps the world away

 Behind the shades

 Of your silent day.

 

 You made your home in the Broadway Hotel

 Room service came at the push of a bell

 And the man said as he put down the tray

 Love was a stealaway

 Just a reveal away

 I tried to find a way

 Nothing was clear

 Then as he turned away

 You asked the man to stay

 He was there all the day

 No-one came near.
