This is one of my favorite songs that I wrote for this album. I remember seeing an old postcard in a vintage shop. It was a picture of the Roosevelt Hotel. It was written by a woman writing to her lover. It seems that they often met at the Roosevelt Hotel. I imagined for a moment that a day might come where she would be waiting but he would not show up ever again. And then I imagined her wandering around L.A. wondering if he would ever return.

Lyrics

Roosevelt Hotel

[Verse 1]
There were strawberry fields
Where this building stands
In a postcard dated
nineteen forty two

Scene from a view
Of the Roosevelt Hotel
Where the love of a woman
Was scripted by hand

Where are you now
Some fifty years later
Unfolding the ribbon
Of history's past

Longing for romance
In a velveteen rabbit
Of an earlier day
When love was so vast

[Chorus]
Now I just had a feeling
You'd understand
The love of this woman
For the love of a man

[Verse ]
She'll find that space again
On some corner of town
Celebrated by statues
In Armani gowns

That still means something
To the window washing dreamers
Lost on the battlefield
Of another working day

[Chorus]
Now I just had a feeling
You'd understand
The love of this woman
For the love of
For the love of a man

[instrumental]

[Chorus]
Now I just had a feeling
You'd understand
The love of this woman
For the love of a man

[Chorus]
Yeah I just had a feeling
You'd understand
The love of this woman
For the love of a man

There were strawberry fields where this building stands
