Late Night Grande Hotel Lyrics - From A Distance - Nanci Griffith

I'm working on a morning flight to anywhere but here 

I'm watching this evening fire burn away my tears 

All my life I've left my troubles by the door 

Leavin' is all I've ever known before 

It's not the way you hold me when the sun goes down 

It's not the way you call my name that left me stranded on the ground 

It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends 

I am just learning how to fly away again 

It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends 

I am just learning how to fly away again 

And maybe you were thinkin' 

That you thought you knew me well 

But no one ever knows the heart of anyone else 

I feel like Garbo in this late night Grande hotel 

Cause living alone is all I've ever done well 

It's not the way you hold me when the sun goes down 

It's not the way you call my name that left me stranded on the ground 

It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends 

I am just learning how to fly away again 

It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends 

I am just learning how to fly away again 

And maybe you were thinkin' 

That you thought you knew me well 

But no one ever knows the heart of anyone else 

I feel like Garbo in this late night Grande hotel 

Cause living alone is all I've ever done well 

It's not the way you hold me when the sun goes down 

It's not the way you call my name that left me stranded on the ground 

It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends 

I am just learning how to fly away again 

It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends 

I am just learning how to fly away again 

And maybe you were thinkin' 

That you thought you knew me well 

But no one ever knows the heart of anyone else 

I feel like Garbo in this late night Grande hotel 

Cause living alone is all I've ever done well
