Cincinnati Motel

Every time I see you walking my way, I just hide

'Cause I don't really feel like talking about old times

Although I still remember it well,

The night that we burned our last bridge

In that Cincinnati motel

Now I don't claim to know much more about this than you

But I know when the deal came down you just did not come through

You left me lying cold, alone in my cell

While you had the time of your life

In that Cincinnati motel

Days of grace haunting your every move

You're too high to see

And you're too cold to feel me

Well it started out simple and easy like all good things will

But you turned into someone I can't recognize even now

You hated when I won but you laughed when I fell

And stumbled back in through the door

Of that Cincinnati motel

Well it's hard to say how or why you've turned out this way

And I can't reconcile any debts that you've come to repay

Oh 'cause I can't forget the lies that you tried to tell

The night that we said our goodbyes

In that Cincinnati motel

Oh, days of grace haunting your every move

You're too high to see

And too cold to feel me

Oh, fade away diamond time

Leave me here, you're too fine to breathe

And you're so hard to believe

So don't expect me to be forgiven

'Cause it's too late for that

And it's hard enough to just keep living without feeling this trapped

Well the truth in our lives, yeah we lost sight of that

It's rolling in the dust somewhere down the track

We both wrote the songs and we loved them so well

We let 'em slip right through our hands

In that Cincinnati motel

In that Cincinnati motel
