On the corner I pass by dreaming
At the end of every street.
There's a house I whisper gently
And its where I'll rest my feet.
As I step in through the doorway
I turn and hesitate.
Will he follow me in my boldest dreams
Or is it already too late?
Should I stop by for just a little while
Or hurry past with speed?
Should I mention all my heartache
Or turn the other cheek?
Should I mention what I've been doing?
Did you notice how I speak?
Did I tell you what you did to me?
Did I tell you I'm in deep?
He's seen me coming now.
On the corner I pass by dreaming
At the end of my old street.
There's the house I whisper gently
and I call it Hotel Splendide.
Did you notice what I did to you?
Did you notice where I've been?
Did I tell you how I've changed my mind?
Did you notice how I speak?
He's seen me coming now.
