Took a pretty girl to Paris
She was a millionaire heiress
I didn't love her and she didn't love me
And we stayed up drinking "˜til the morning
Chorus:
Shelter hotel, shelter hotel
I love your loneliness
I hear the night's cathedral bells
Shelter hotel
But what a bitch in the morning
And it rained every damn day
Just give me something so I have something
that I can throw away
There was a war on the TV we had it on without the sound
Go get some wine and watch the rain come down
Repeat chorus
And I want to stay but I know better than that
I've been in love so many times that now it barely makes a scratch
She was taking off her dress
We barely noticed when outside the darkness fell
Shelter hotel
