Quiet Hotel
Quiet Hotel
Walk softly down that long hall
with the quietest steps you can
possibly make late at night.
walking softly down the hall…..
Some can hear every step taken
and awaken with unknown fear
that you may be coming with harm.
walking softly down the hall…..
The secret lovers may be hiding
fearing they will be quickly found
then their secret will be out.
walking softly down the hall…..
Tom the young doctor starts to snore
as he finally calms down from his day
of long hours always on the run.
walking softly down the hall…..
A frightened elderly one might call
out " Is that you manager Dan? "
" I just called you, I had such a fright. "
walking softly down the hall…..
The young child with a tooth aching
moaning and crying all you can hear
is the noise like a blasting alarm.
walking softly down the hall…..
An ignored wife waiting and biding
her time not wanting to be bound
to a husband that is never about.
walking softly down the hall…..
What would be with a knock on a door
of the new friend you just met today
she was nice and might be the one.
walking softly down the hall…..
