Anne Murray - No Room At The Inn lyrics

rate me

I understand their offer, that's totally unacceptable

We have no room for negotiation

Look, I've got someone at the door, call me back as soon as you know ok, bye

This is ridiculous, everytime...

Look, I'm very busy right now, I don't have any extra time, alright

So could you come back, I don't know--LATER?

Oh, they're turned down

Turned upside down

Every room is taken

Short and tall, crowded wall to wall, nearing sleep

I'll knock again, use that wanting in, make the strangers leave

Will we ever get some peace?

Sent away till another day when he'll walk among them

So a man, knocking once again, bringing peace

There are those of the young and old who will not recieve

Saying, "man, we have no need."

Still no room in the inn

Turned away once again

Wants to save everyone but no saving is done

Till there's room in the end

Long ago, yeah well maybe so,

But not much as changed since then

Pride and sin keep resisting him and always will

Don't need toys to lead someone to joy

It's for this he's watching, waiting, knocking still

Still no room in the inn

Turned away once again

Wants to save everyone but no saving is done

Till there's room...

Inside, outside, or upside down

While forever beckons to us

We serve the moth and the rust

We showed ourselves in

Let's open the inn and let him in

Came to save everyone but no saving is done

Until there's room in the inn

I hear he's coming again

Time to scrub down the walls like the lamp in the hall

And set a table for him

Let's make some room (lots of it)

In the inn
