(Verse 1) The neon sign says "Vacancy" in a tired, blinking red I pull the curtains on the world, on the things I should have said The radiator hisses out a lonely, steady beat A symphony for empty hearts on a one-way street (Verse 2) There's a photograph inside my wallet, faded at the seams It's holding onto yesterday, a pocketful of dreams The man I was is staring back, a ghost I used to know With a brighter smile and a lighter step, a lifetime ago (Chorus) And the rain keeps falling on this riverside hotel Washing away the stories that we never got to tell And the river, oh the river, it don't care at all It just listens to the rain and waits for the next soul to fall (Verse 3) I can hear the couple in the room right next to mine Arguing in whispered shouts, crossing some old line We're all just pages in a book that's starting to unravel Seeking shelter from the storm on our lonely travel (Chorus) And the rain keeps falling on this riverside hotel Washing away the stories that we never got to tell And the river, oh the river, it don't care at all It just listens to the rain and waits for the next soul to fall (Outro) (Spoken softly over a fading guitar line) Yeah... waits for the next soul to fall...
