Lyrics

Could Have Been

(v)
The hotel was old and fading 
With cracked paint and shuttered windows
Light from outside was falling
On the walls were long shadows

(v)
The tile on the front desk was cold
And the floors worn and dirty
A hermit of a man so old
Handed me a key to room thirty

(ch)
And I stepped into history
Of men and women with no ministry
Only broken dreams of families
And of what… could have been

(v)
The stories in these walls
Tell about the thieves of lives 
Stolen pictures from the family halls
And people born into a life of lies

(v) 
I drifted off to sleep and dreamt
About the souls that wearily
Rendezvous in this lonely tenement 
 I felt I knew them intimately

(ch) repeat

(br)
They could have been doctors
Could have been lawyers
Could have been fathers
Or could have been mothers


(ch) repeat

(tag)
And I stepped into history
Of men and women with no ministry
