The Mission Hotel - Allan Taylor/Grischka Zepf/Chris Jones/Beo Brockhausen

Anna works at the hotel

Where all the singers hang out

She brings them their coffee

When the drinks have run out

She dreams in the kitchen

Stands real close to the door

And she listens to them singing

She wants to hear more

They sings songs of the travelling

Through strange and foreign lands

Play tunes on guitars with strong

And delicate hands

Sing of the ladies they left so far behind

And fame and the fortune they're hoping to find

Anna brushes her hair and waits for the day

For her lover to come and take her away

She will know him for sure

Cause she's dreamed of him so many times before

When he takes her away

The night's winding down

And they're playing out the last tune

It's time to be leaving

And chasing that old devil moon

A casual glance and Anna is ready to go

To rule in the arms of some sweet talking Romeo

Anna brushes her hair and waits for the day

For her lover to come and take her away

She will know him for sure

Cause she's dreamed of him

So many times before

When he takes her away

The song is a dream

That sometimes gets lost on the way

Dreaming's for lovers

Who sometimes don't know what to say

But take it as given it all comes 'round in the end

When Anna is singing dreaming of loving again

Anna brushes her hair and waits for the day

For her lover to come and take her away

She will know him for sure

Cause she's dreamed of him so many times before

When he takes her away

She will know him for sure

Cause she's dreamed of him so many times before

When he takes her away
