Broadway Hotel

Lyricist：Al Stewart

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 roll away, 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 roll away, just an unfold away
That's all there is to say, no one came near'

Alone in your room you hide
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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 steal away, 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
