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
