[Verse 1]
I met you on the palisades
The sun was spilling kerosene
And 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 your 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
