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.
