January's coming to the transient hotel where I've been sleeping too many nights we strike our matches against the moon of old Chicago and look to see how hard it's snowing in the light When I forget to light the candles (as I do most Friday nights) Emily comes and lights them for me she says that I'd be lost if I didn't have her next door to the room where I sleep But I have never been lost I have never been lost I have never been lost I've just taken the long way home Three doors down, Levy looks about 90 and claims that he's older than that Says he fought with Jack Johnson back in the early 20's and was knocked out in two minutes flat He's been at the hotel since his wife passed which was nearly two decades ago but he says he can't leave, because when the light is just right he can sometimes see her face in the snow he has never been lost he has never been lost he has never been lost he's just taken the long way home The bar at the hotel has wood paneled walls we sit in line from soprano to baritone Emily's an alto, she drinks vodka tonic Levy's pumping coins into the phone so when they start up the countdown on the TV we'll be ready to sing Auld Lang Syne and at the risk of starting to sound a bit greedy we'll ask God to bless us all, please, one more time we have never been lost we have never been lost we have never been lost we've just taken the long way home Notable links:
