The Grand Hotel Score

[Intro]
[Verse]
The grand hotel is asleep
Where salt-stained secrets keep
Beneath the faded paper
Where shadows dance and taper
I turn the dusty page
Upon a silent stage
[Pre-Chorus]
A letter slips right through
Adorned in faded blue
It speaks of summer nights
And distant harbor lights
[Chorus]
Oh, hear the carnival bells
Where the tide swells
They wrote of love in the dark
Leaving their permanent mark
Two shadows lost in the sea
Who used to be
[Verse]
The ink is pale and dry
Under a painted sky
She wrote: "My dearest friend,
When will this winter end?"
Only dust remains
On these forgotten plains
[Chorus]
Oh, hear the carnival bells
Where the tide swells
They wrote of love in the dark
Leaving their permanent mark
Two shadows lost in the sea
Who used to be
[Bridge]
The grand piano plays
Through the saltwater haze
A waltz for ghosts in the gloom
Inside this empty room
We dream of what they knew
Beneath the ocean blue
[Rondo]
Return to the start
A break in the heart
The music will play
To carry them away
Again we will hear
The voices so clear
The carnival bells
Where the tide swells
They fade in the air
With none left to care
[Outro]
