Song For No One

I met you on the palisades

The sun was spilling kerosene

And I was feeling wide awake

Girl, you can be so obscene

And when you sang a lullaby

A missionary called your name

You disappeared and hopped a flight

For the Serengeti plain

Tell everyone you know

Open up the door

Tell everyone you know

Open up the door

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

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 your voice in years

Tell everyone you know

Open up the door

Tell everyone you know

Open up the door

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

When your love has gone

You carry on

This is her song

This is a song for no one

You can jump a ride

But don't ask why

And don't close your eyes

This is a song for no one

This is a song for no one

This is a song for no one
