Lyrics

We met at the inn on highway ninety one.
The sign said, "vacancy" in blinking red neon.
It seemed to beckon me with promise on that day,
But it was just a chance to give my life away.

I chased after rainbows to find a pot of gold,
But all that I found was myself out in the cold;
'Could take nobody's word, I had to try and see,
And now within my heart there lies a vacancy.

The years come and go, but I remember when
That sign said "vacancy" and tempted me back then;
I gave up what I had just for a moment's thrill,
And so you walked away, my love that was so real.

I chased after rainbows to find a pot of gold,
But all that I found was myself out in the cold.
'Could take nobody's word, I had to try and see,
And now within my heart there lies a vacancy.
