Haven Songtext
von The Third Man

Sixteen furnished floors
They′ve got sympathetic walls
A haven for the night

There's a sculpture in the hallway
Behind the main concourse
That reminds you of a garden when you were eight

There′s a well stocked bar of course
They've got whisky and divorce
And a barstool with a hook to hold your coat

If you'd known it could be like this
Simple questions such as how you like your fish
You would have run away

You would have run away
You would have run away
You would have run away
Sooner


You′re not tired of living here
You′re just tired of life
There's a fountain playing here
And the drinks have ice

There are couples waiting here
On their way downtown
Men in suits are staying here
On the conference rounds

There′s a balcony of sorts
Outside your window
You can see from here the courts
Where your case book is on file

If you'd known it could be like this
A late night phone call
From what should have been a kiss
You would have run away

You would have run away
You would have run away
You should have run away
Sooner


If you′re tired of living here
Then you're tired of life
When the showers are running here
And the water′s nice

There's a music playing here
All the way downstairs
When the council brought you here
They just left your bags on the chairs
