Picture a hotel room    Clothes scattered across the floor    Covers pulled back from the pillow    A sign hung on the door    Two lovers locked up tight    Through the endless days and nights    Hiding something they can't show    Something no-one must know       There's a room without a number    While the sign outside says there's    no vacancy as you take your key    They smile at you so understandingly       She cried out in the night    Woke the porter from his sleep    He grinned slyly to himself    As he went to fetch his keys    Look what love has brought them to    This terrible nightmare    His or hers he could not tell    As they were sleeping there       There's a room without a number    While the sign outside says there's    no vacancy as you take your key    They smile at you so understandingly      And I wish he could be    The man he was before he was me       A girl arrived at first light    And enquired if they'd been seen    And why the numbers ran from twelve    Missing out thirteen    And they said oh my darling    Put it down to superstition    Try to avoid a scandal    And don't arouse suspicion    They re-arranged the furniture    They even papered over the door       There's a room without a number    While the sign outside says there's    no vacancy as you take your key    They smile just so so you know       There's a room without a number    While the sign outside says there's    no vacancy as you take your key    They smile at you so understandingly
