EDWARD KA-SPEL "Eyes! China Doll" (UK/HOL,1985)

D`Archangel rises
One more lonely room and a key with a number, and the guy behind the desk said, "Understand that the first night`s free but then you have to pay!". He nodded thanks. He wondered if he`d travelled all his life... Was he just a number on a hundred scraps of paper, thrown away ? He `d never had a wife, and he `d never had a lover. He turned the key. He smelt the dumb. He dived between the covers...teardrops in his eyes turned to ice. And he tried to think of better times but the pictures never formed. And just one thought remained that maybe from the day he was born, he `d stayed dead inside. After all...
(II)
And in another town the clock chimed 13 times, the traveller was home. He had a lady by his side, they were driving through the snow. Pure. Like the bridal gown she wore. Like the sound she made when she would stroke his hand and say " you`ll never be alone again - just believe it`s not a dream. It`s not a dream! "
(III)
They tried to break the door down. They found him face down. He was grinning like a clown. They called his name - he never heard. They felt his pulse but nothing stirred... A coal black hearse appeared and hauled the corpse away. Another customer who paid at Hotel Blanc...("Hotel Blanc" lyrics)
