Pink Martini
Hotel Amour
I looked for Love in the beautiful cities
I looked for Love up in the air
I looked underground, though I knew that I shouldn't
And still, no Love was anywhere

I went to the place they call heaven
I went to a Hotel Amour
I sat still and wrote Love some letters
But Love doesn't read anymore

I sang Love into my stories
And I danced Love into my dreams
But Love didn't find me, let alone blind me
Love is nowhere, it seems

[Short Interlude]

I looked for Love, by pretending I wasn't
I looked for Love close to the [bone?]
I fixed up some wings, and I bought all the permits
So Love could take flight when it was grown

I followed the maps, I read all the signs
I bought Love a building called home
I filled in the forms, and I paid all the taxes
Still, Love left me, alone
[Long Interlude]

My heart's still jumping out of my skin
I've nothing to keep the feeling in
I've nothing to do to make Love stay
I've nothing to keep the darkness away

You're all in the grandness of little things
A leaf, a chain, like a [heart?]
A simple breeze, a feather
Morning light, evening star

And I'm singing to you my stories
And I'm dancing with you in my dreams
Now
Love is everywhere, it seems
