Lyrics

(Room)204
words & music by Tommy Paul & Walter Guy


I know an old man; lost somewhere downtown,
His old wife; she died,
And the kids never come around anyway,
He says he doesn?t care.

He used to write the songs that everybody loved,
But that was years ago and there?s nothing left to show,

CHORUS:

But 204, 204, 204, 204.

His room is 204; He lives there by himself,
A piano and his bed is all that he has left anyway,
He says he doesn?t care.

He?s writing his last song; a picture he wants to paint,
He?s got to tell the world he gave a lot of love away,

CHORUS:

Neon lights; they flash shadows in the night,
Through the darkness in his room, he always saw the light,

CHORUS:

I know an old man with a storm inside his soul,
He Stares out in the night;
A night that?s black as coal anyway,
He says he doesn?t care.

He?s writing his last song; he hopes we?ll understand,
What his life was like with his heart held in his hand,

CHORUS: (repeat)
