Song for No One Lyrics

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 the song for no one
This is the song for no one

I think I own a photograph that shows her in the freezing rain
With the the Italians on the bank they know how to entertain
A string of pearls behind your hair 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 the song for no one
This is the song for no one
This is the song for no one
When your love has gone you carry on this is her song
This is the song for no one
You can jump a ride but don't ask why and don't close your eyes

This is the song for no one
This is the song for no one
This is the song for no one
