"Blue Hotel"

I'd like to say that I tried
It fits in with all the suggestions and lies and empty tables
With food untouched
I couldn't see the future I liked the past too much
I've been going door to door like I got something to sell
Wandering like a fool through the halls of a blue hotel

So go on and rain down on us
Go on and rain
Go on and rain down on us
'Cause I give up .... ooooh, I give up

Something about her that's cold
Blowing through the trees leaving me raw
The words come out and I get confused
I get shattered like a light bulb in an October moon
She's inside me like a secret and I got no one to tell
Wandering like a fool through the halls of a blue hotel

So go on and rain down on us
Go on and rain
Go on and rain down on us
'Cause I give up .... ooooh, I give up
I give up

--Ryan Adams, "Blue Hotel"
