Starlight Hotel

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.
