Hotel Continental Blues

In a Hotel Continental, thinking about you

Far away, but all the same your lover, through and through

Good things break in two, but you and I will be alright

So make the bed and light the fire, I’m coming home tonight

And I can't justify myself

And it was I who put the dust upon the shelf, I can't hide

This Hotel Continental blues

I made a couple promises, but I can't help but sway

I cannot keep you close when I'm a million miles away

Idiot winds blowing strong through our abode in spite

But now we're gonna close the gap, I'm coming home tonight

And I can't justify myself

And it was I who put the dust upon the shelf, I can't hide

This lonesome Hotel Continental blues

I said I cannot hide

Regret and guilt is creeping up inside of my mind

I guess it was nobody's fault but mine

And I can't justify myself

And it was I who put the dust upon the shelf, I can't hide

From the remnants of this lonesome Hotel Continental blues
