1
Alice works the desk at the East Bay Hotel
2
In Grand Marais, Minnisota
3
I came in one night, She said "I loved your show"
4
We sat and talked on the sofa
5
She's on her own since her husband passed away
6
Some surgeon screwed up, there's nothing left to say
7
Now she works this desk at night and the campground by day
8
in a trailer by the lake until the summer blows away
9
She read about the job in a camping magazine
10
and home was just a reminder
11
So she took the cat and dog, stored away her things,
12
left the bleakness behind her
13
Even now through the ache of missing him
14
she's filled with wonder and far from giving in
15
She sees magic on the lake in the early morning light
16
And talking books and telling tales we sat there half the night
17
Chorus:
18
And she said "The more I travel the more I want to see
19
My kids want some settled life for me
20
I don't want to move somewhere and grow old quietly
21
And the more I travel, the more I want to see"
22
Well it's time to make a change, with winter in the wings
23
and the East Bay Hotel made an offer
24
But she doesn't really know, 'cause there's everywhere to go
25
and there's everything that traveling has taught her
26
Moving marches down busy city streets
27
fantastic people she's privileged to meet
28
And she dreams about Alaska, the snow so deep and white
29
And that little town in Texas where there's dancing every night
30
Chorus:
31
And she says "The more I travel the more I want to see
32
My kids want some settled life for me
33
I don't want to move somewhere and grow old quietly
34
And the more I travel, the more I want to see"
