From the recording Under Construction LP2
The Grand Hotel - a place where people meet, live and have their adventures, until one day it is over and you don't know where your partner/soulmate/friend is. This is a song about losing someone and that you are not ready - they checked out too early!

Lyrics
Like a grand hotel. Full of chance and desire.
We meet in the lobby and ignite the fire
Time passes. The seasons come and go.
Then things change. Why, I really don’t know.
Table set for two. Here I am, waiting alone.
But you don’t come. No signal on your phone.
No-one has seen you. I’ve looked everywhere.
Nothing to remind me that you were ever there
You….. checked out too early.
Gone to some new place.
Before it was time
No way back now.
Your image is fading.
You’re no longer mine
You’re not the first. To leave in this way.
They tell me it’s normal. What can I say?
I’m not ready. You’ve left too soon for me
But you’ve gone now. Set your spirit free
You….. checked out too early.
Gone to some new place.
Before it was time
No way back now.
Your image is fading.
You’re no longer mine
You….. checked out too early. Before it was time
Gone to some new place. You’re no longer mine
