Why Don’t You Quit Leaving Me Alone?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Surely you'll remember this old resort hotel It's pink and white all over and historical as hell F. Scott and Zelda stayed here and you and me, as well At least that's how the story goes, the porters like to tell [Chorus] A cold hard rain comes fallin' down It wasn't like this last time around There's no calm center to this storm Oh baby, why don't you quit leavin' me alone? [Verse 2] There's nothing on the TV, no message on the phone And nothin' but an awful lot of nothin' going on And every radio station plays the same forsaken song You'd think I would've had the sense to leave this place alone [Chorus] Well, some dreams die with dignity They fade out clean and quietly Some won't let you let 'em go Oh baby, why don't you quit leavin' me alone? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] The same old corner bedroom, seven stories up That overlooks a window that overlooks the gulf The same old sleazy porter with the after hours stuff I think I'll kick the walls around and beat myself up [Chorus] Some dreams die with dignity They fade out clean and quietly But some won't let you let 'em go Oh baby, why don't you quit leavin' me? The cold hard rain comes pouring down It wasn't like this last time around There's no calm center to this storm Oh baby, why don't you quit leavin' me alone?
