NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Late Night Grande Hotel

(Nanci Griffith)



I'm working on a morning flight to anywhere but here

I'm watching this evening fire burn away my tears

All my life I've left my troubles by the door

Leavin' is all I've ever known before



[Chorus:]

It's not the way you hold me

When the sun goes down

It's not the way you call my name that left me

Stranded on the ground

It's not the way you say you hear my heart

When the music ends

I am just learning how to fly away again

It's not the way you say you hear my heart

When the music ends

I am just learning how to fly away again



And maybe you were thinkin'

That you thought you knew me well

But, no one ever knows the heart of anyone else

I feel like Garbo in this late night grande hotel

Cause living alone is all I've ever done well



[Chorus 2x]
