Hotel Amour (feat. Pink Martini)

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 the Hôtel 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

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

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 that's shaped like a heart

A simple breeze, a feather

Morning light, evening star

And I'm singing to you in my stories

And I'm dancing with you in my dreams

Love

Love is everywhere, it seems
