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
