Got a room in this old hotel
There’s nothing much to do
Got a book full of photographs
Of the people that I knew
Here’s a picture of Anna
In a room in Brazil
Don’t know where she’s living now
I don’t know if I ever will
But it was all the same to me
Sunlight and rain to me
It was just a game to me
I just hoped – that I played the right card
But old dreams die hard
Old dreams die hard
Here’s a picture of Flavia
On a bridge in Geneva
It was hard to know in the falling snow
Should I stay or should I leave her
It was all…
Old dreams are waking
In the attics of my mind
Old dreams that never fade
They’re the ghosts that walk my night
Here’s a picture of Julie
In a bar on the Rhine
Too bad we never learned to mix
A little water with the wine
It was all the same…
It gets lonely in this old hotel
And my spirit fails
I’m Judas in the garden love
My kiss is full of nails
