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 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 a song for no one (x3)      When your love has gone   You carry on   This is her song   This a song for no one      You can jump a ride   But don't ask why   And don't close your eyes      This a song for no one (x3)
