And you can't catch her fall
Well, she will call you
When she needs you
You know where she lives
The Imperial Hotel"

When she needs comfort, she'll call him, but otherwise, she's alone. He says not to cry because he can save her, but she knows that's not true.

Do you guys remember the story that "Imperial Hotel" was Stevie's code word for the old Sunset Marquis Hotel on Sunset Boulevard?
