Albion Hotel

I had a dream where you'd holed up in Guelph
And made a life above the Albion Hotel
And it was hard to know if the angels had come, or if
Or if you'd come undone again

Troubles piled and problems they grew
And it was hardly ever me and hardly ever you
And I don't know now what to do
Do you know and do you know about it
Know about it

And I'm saying, don't tell me we're trying
When clearly nobody's trying here, oh
And what an ending to an otherwise perfect year

That couple downstairs, they always fight
One's always wrong and one's always right
I don't know now who is who
Do you know, do you know about this?

I had a dream where you'd holed up in Guelph
And you'd made a life above the Albion Hotel
And it was hard to know if the angels had come, or if
Or if you'd come undone again
Come undone again

Well that truth will set you free
And I tell you truthfully
Oh, this is all I can take
This is me at the end of the rope
But it's monsters alone
And waits by the phone
And when are you
I'm coming along

I had a dream where you'd holed up in Guelph
And you made a life above the Albion Hotel
And it was hard to know what you had done
Playing over those same old three chords

Don't tell me you're trying
When clearly nobody's trying here, oh
And oh, what an ending to an otherwise imperfect year

Don't tell me you're trying
When clearly nobody's trying here
And oh, what an ending to an otherwise perfect year
Oh, an otherwise

I had a dream where you'd holed up in Guelph
And you made a life above the Albion Hotel
And it was hard to know where you'd poured yourself
Over those three chords again
