Royal Hotel

Under the bridge by the Royal Hotel

I held you there, while the stars, they fell

And the night wrapped its arms

'round this fleeting affair

As though it tried to keep us there

Oh the streetlamp covered us in dirty gold

And your lips were hot against the cold

And your hair a black raven

Oh into my hands it fell

Under the bridge by the Royal Hotel

Oh marry me tonight

And the moon will be our ring

And cover you in white

And soot drawn from the rain

And though you say you wish to be

The night next to my day

Still you fly away, why don't you stay

Under the bridge by the Royal Hotel

I held you there while the stars they fell

And maybe we got lucky

Like two pennies in a well

Under the bridge by the Royal Hotel

Marry me tonight

And the moon will be our ring

And cover you in white

And soot drawn from the rain

And though you say you wish to be

The night next to my day

Still you fly away, why don't you stay

We danced a broken tango

By the wall

And the barkeeps pouring tears

And there's ghosts up in the hall

And the piano in the montage

Knew it all along

Sometimes love doesn't last that long

Oh in room 19 a man's about to cheat

Oh in room 05 her vows are on the sheets

Yes and outside on the sidewalk you've left a lasting spell

Under the bridge by the Royal

Under the bridge by the Royal

Under the bridge by the Royal Hotel
