Tindersticks - Rented Rooms lyrics

rate me

There's the same hotel, and we can go there now

We can go there now if you want to

Through the doors of that rented room

Yeah, we stumbled through

It was only hours

It seemd such a short while

We had no time to cry

Or sit and wonder why

We had so many things started to say

We had to get through

We tried the cinema

Within half an hour

We had to go find someplace else

More. . . you know

We tried a drinking bar

It gets so very hot

And when the cab ride ahead seems too long

We go fuck in the bathroom

We can't afford the time to sit and cry

Or to wonder why

We've got so many things started to say

We had to get through

Through the doors of that rented room

Yeah, we stumbled through

We had so many things started to say

We had to get through

We can't afford the time to sit and cry

Or to wonder why

We've got so many things started to say

We had to get through

We haven't got the time for telling lies

Or to even try

There's only days in between

There's just tomorrow

Through the doors of that rented room

Yeah, we stumbled through

It was only hours it seemed such a short while

In those pillows all the feathers that hold all our dreams

They split at the seams

Now they just seem to float on the breeze

I could have wrapped that pillow around my head

Face down on the bed

I could have drowned in those so-called dreams

We can't afford the time to sit and cry

Or to wonder why

There's only days in between

There's just tomorrow
