|
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.
