Rusted Glory

There's this old, abandon hotel where I live. It was big time in the 1800's. Somebody should record a record there. It might be haunted folks say.

(Slow 4/4  E minor)
All the silverware's sold
Fine linnens no more
And somebody took
The rugs off the floor

All that's left
Of this once fine hotel
Is the shell of its soul
And a rusted doorbell

There's boards on the windows
Darkness abounds
The gardens are gone
And the spa it shut down

Once lavish and posh
Glory it fades
The springs all dried up
Then nobody stayed

The piano is gone
But i know what i heard
I can here it at night
Folks say that's absurd 


All that's left
Of a once fine hotel
Is the shell of its soul
And a rusted doorbell
