Surely you remember this old resort hotel
It's pink and white all over and historical as hell
And Scott and Zelda stayed here and you and me as well
At least that's how the story goes, the porters like to tell
Now a cold hard rain comes pouring down
It wasn't like this last time around
There's no calm center to this storm, oh baby
Why don't you cry?
Why don't you leave me alone?
There's nothing on the TV, no message on the phone
And nothing but an awful lot of nothing going on
And every radio station plays the same for me
And every forsaken song
You'd think I would've had the sense to leave this place alone
Some dreams die with dignity
They fade out clean and quietly
But some won't let you let them go, ah baby
Why don't you cry? Why don't you leave me alone?
Don't you quit leaving me alone
The same old corner bedroom, seven stories up
That overlooks the window, that overlooks the gulf
The same old sleepy parlor with the after-hour stuff
I think I'll kick the walls around
And I'll kick the walls around
And I'll beat myself up
Some dreams die with dignity
They fade out clean and quietly
But some of them won't let you let them go
Oh baby
Why don't you quit leaving me
Now a cold hard rain comes
Pouring down
It wasn't like this last time around
There's no calm center to this storm
Oh baby
Why don't you quit leaving me alone
The same old corner bedroom, seven stories up
