Lyrics

Blue Hotel
On a lonely highway
Blue Hotel
Life don't work out my way

Blue Hotel
On a lonely highway
Blue Hotel
Life don't work out my way
I wait alone each lonely night

Blue Hotel
Blue Hotel

Blue Hotel
Every room is lonely
Blue Hotel
I was waiting only
The night and the light of her lonely dream

Blue Hotel
Blue Hotel

Blue Hotel
On a lonely highway
Blue Hotel
Life don't work out my way
I wait alone each lonely night

Blue Hotel
Blue Hotel
