The night comes calling

Tears begin to fall

You call me late at night

From hotel Lake Baikal

You tell me it’s all over

The war has broke you down

The love you had for me

Is beaten’ to the ground

You said to meet in Moscow

On June 23

In the lobby at St. Regis

Where you said you’d be

You said we’ll talk it over

And that you needed time

I said the time is over

The heart you broke is mine

 

(Chorus:)

Hotel St. Regis

I feel your mystery

Hotel St. Regis

Is where we will be

There are 100 stories

A thousand lonely nights

Where lovers came together

Alone by candlelight

​

Before the war you loved me

You said I must come home

I said you don’t get it

Russia is my home

I fight for Mother Russia

The war is never done

You must love me forever

You are the only one

I will come to Moscow

On June 23

At Hotel St. Regis

Is where I plan to be

We can talk it over

You can have more time

But I’ll say it once again

The heart you broke is mine

 

(Chorus, repeated twice)
