Song for No One

[Verse 1] I met you on the palisades The sun was spilling kerosene But I was feeling wide awake Girl you can be so obscene When you sang a lullaby A missionary called your name You disappeared and hopped a flight For the Serengeti plain [Pre-Chorus] Tell everyone you know Open up the door Tell everyone you know Open up the door [Chorus 1] When your love has gone You carry on This is her song This is a song for no one This is a song for no one [Verse 2] I think I own a photograph That shows her in the freezing rain With the Italians on the bank They know how to entertain A string of pearls behind your head A music box to catch your tears Now call your mother in L.A She hasn't heard you voice in years [Pre-Chorus] Tell everyone you know Open up the door Tell everyone you know Open up the door [Chorus 1] When your love has gone You carry on This is her song This is a song for no one This is a song for no one This is a song for no one [Chorus 1] When your love has gone You carry on This is her song This is a song for no one This is a song for no one [Chorus 2] You can jump a ride But don't ask why And don't close your eye This is a song for no one This is a song for no one This is a song for no one
