lyrics

The Moonlight Hotel after the war
Flowers in the lobby
Locks off the doors
The elevator climbs all the way to the roof
Survey the city
Everything is new
Once you've dated violence you'll marry peace
It's singing from the faces of the people in the street

And the river through the heart of it flows different every day
But the memories of the killing never quite fade away
But The Moonlight Hotel invites everybody in
They say they have no enemies
Everyone's a friend to them
And they make up your bed the way a lotus will bloom
And they carry your bags up to your room

Thousands of temples fell to the bombs
From those rubbled ruins rose the people of Vietnam
A heart full of love from a world of pain
Welcoming their guests to come in from the rain
And what you might see as weakness they know as strength
To be kind in the face of cruelty
Cruelty is the coward's way

And the river through the heart of it flows different every day
But the memories of the killing never quite fade away
But The Moonlight Hotel invites everybody in
They say they have no enemies
Everyone's a friend to them
And they make up your bed the way a lotus will bloom
And they carry your bags up to your room

And the river through the heart of it flows different every day
But the memories of the killing never quite fade away
But The Moonlight Hotel invites everybody in
They say they have no enemies
Everyone's a friend to them
And they make up your bed the way a lotus will bloom
And they carry your bags up to your room
