Zoe Muth & The Lost High Rollers - Starlight Hotel lyrics

rate me

If they say he never worked hard enough

I'll tell them he had something else on his mind

Always looking for love or whatever came close enough

To get him through the night

He found himself far from home

And it was not hard to get other folks to leave him

Alone

I was naïve and young

With only the words of the barstool bards to base my

Conclusions on

And I believed him when he said

"Don't put your faith in the love of any one man"

Chorus:

Now he's down there

Living in the Starlight Hotel

He leaves his blinds open at night

So all the world can tell

No amount of joy and love in our younger days

Can make up for that one last lost love

That would not stay

My heart is like my mind

It's the jealous and the aching kind

Neither one knows what the other should do

I can write these rhymes

Tell you stories tell you lies

Somehow they always seem to come true

And I stumbled into you

You turned my heart a lighter shade of blue

When you are gone just a little too long

My mind wanders back to all the loves that have gone

Wrong

I see the light around the moon

The cold green gardens about to bloom

This may all be over far too soon

Can we help each other out?

Can we help each other out?

If they say you never worked hard enough

Tell them you had something else on your mind.
