The Mayfair Hotel

Clay Hips


Sweet Louise by the pale lantern’s glow
I can find a place for you
Plenty vacancies, you know
Children play behind these iron bars
And by far this is a better place than where you are

Like birds in their cages
Broken wing, missing pages
Sometimes when the walls close in
I ring for Annabel Lee
I don’t think I’ll ever leave
'Cause all is very well in The Mayfair Hotel

Sweet Louise by the pale lantern’s glow
I can find a place for you
Plenty vacancies, you know
Children play behind these iron bars
And by far this is a better place than where you are

Like birds in their cages
And friends without faces
Sometimes when the walls close in
I ring for Annabel Lee
I don’t think I’ll ever leave
'Cause all is just too well in The Mayfair Hotel
