Nanci Griffith - Late Night Grande Hotel lyrics

(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

Leaving 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 grand hotel

Cause living alone is all I've ever done well

(Chorus twice)
