"The Moore Hotel" Lyrics

Livin' on the edge of Bell town – the Moore Hotel
I met a girl as lost as I was, she treated me well
But late one night I looked out the window
Down on Second Street below
And I knew that our time was ending
She had to go home

I drove her to the airport on a foggy Monday night
I got back in the car I was alone

And I headed home, back to the Moore Hotel
A place for all the weary people at the bottom of the well
Where ocean breeze meets city light
And the street life keeps you up at night
You'd leave if you had somewhere to go – oh

I tried to sleep all day with all my might,
But the sunshine just came in too bright
And the tales of terror on TV
Were startin' to get the best of me, yeah

I walked out on Lenora, on my way to ocean side
I never felt more alive or more alone

And I headed home, back to the Moore Hotel
A place for all the weary people at the bottom of the well
Where ocean breeze meets city light
And the street life keeps you up at night
You'd leave if you had somewhere to go – oh

I woke up to the sound of rain I knew the time had come for me again
I knew the day was comin' fast to leave the Moore Hotel at last, yeah

To leave my home, the Moore Hotel
A place for all the weary people runnin' from themselves
Where ocean breeze meets city light
And the street life keeps you up at night
You'd leave if you had somewhere to go
