You told the man in the Broadway Hotel Nothing was stranger than being yourself And he replied with a tear in his eye     Love was a rollaway Just a cajole away Mist on a summer’s day Nothing was clear Love was a smile away Just a defile away I sought it every way No-one came near. You asked the man for a room with a view Nothing was said as he stared at his shoe Then he replied as he gave you the key     Love was a rollaway Just an unfold away That’s all there is to say No-one came near. Alone in your room you hide  as the night rolls by  In the street outside  And you feel over the words he said  Till they turn to rain all around your head.  class="slbllgninstrumentale">                                                              You’re seeking a hideaway  Where the light of day  Doesn’t touch your face  And a door-sign keeps the world away Behind the shades  Of your silent day. You made your home in the Broadway Hotel Room service came at the push of a bell And the man said as he put down the tray    Love was a stealaway Just a reveal away I tried to find a way Nothing was clear Then as he turned away You asked the man to stay He was there all the day No-one came near.
