《The Rose Hotel》歌词

[00:00:01] The Rose Hotel - Robert Earl Keen

[00:00:15] He was walkin' through the alley way

[00:00:17] Where the drifters sleep

[00:00:19] And the wild dogs play

[00:00:21] The moon was black the sky was grey

[00:00:24] He thought he was alone

[00:00:28] She was waiting at the rose hotel

[00:00:30] Across the street from the wishing well

[00:00:34] Turned the latch and broke a nail

[00:00:37] Checked her mobile phone

[00:00:42] Sometimes you run sometimes you stall

[00:00:48] Sometimes you don't get up at all

[00:00:55] Sometimes you run sometimes you fall

[00:01:05] He bought a ticket on the uptown tram

[00:01:08] Got off at 8th and Birmingham

[00:01:12] Wondered if she gave

[00:01:14] A damn about him anymore

[00:01:19] She hadn't seen him in a year or so

[00:01:21] Why he called she did not know

[00:01:25] She had the oldies on the radio

[00:01:28] And someone at the door

[00:01:32] Sometimes you run sometimes you stall

[00:01:39] Sometimes you don't get up at all

[00:01:46] Sometimes you run sometimes you fall

[00:02:21] He threw a nickle in the wishin' well

[00:02:24] Crossed the street to The Rose Hotel

[00:02:28] Got no answer when he rang the bell

[00:02:31] So he gave a little shout

[00:02:35] Tiny watchman with a baseball bat

[00:02:37] A cheap cigar and a persian cat

[00:02:41] Told him it was too bad

[00:02:44] That she had just checked out

[00:02:50] Sometimes you run sometimes you stall

[00:02:57] Sometimes you don't get up at all

[00:03:03] Sometimes you run sometimes you fall
