Old Haunts, New Cities
I was cruisin' in the night streets
I was looking for my hotel
I was lost in some strange city
And i couldn't find my hotel-room
I was desperate in the midnight hour
I needed sleep, a sink and shower
But when one room's like the next
It's hard to tell
At last i picked a spot
Where i thought i had been before
With the elevator broken
I dragged myself up fourteen floors
And at the top of this old building
I knew no numbers but i knew a feeling
And my key slid effortlessly
Into the door
When i crossed into that space
I was met with a familiar smell
But it was wrong and out of place
There was a woman in my hotel-room
She said, you might have known me all my life
But who was i before tonight?
Kiss me now, i promise i won't tell
Love, it will haunt you
Whether or not you want it to
But for me, my only company
Are these ghosts that barely come to me
Only when i look for something else
