No Love Lost - Marc Cohn

When red lights are blinking

I was thinking about my home

The same old sinking feeling in my bones

The river, she was burning

And the air was turning sour

I said I should be high on the wings of a shining hour

So I got my bags together

Said I’m travelling down that line

I never thought no love was left behind

So take me far away now

As far as I can go

And I wrote a simple message in the snow

No love…

That’s all right, there’s no love

No love will be lost in me

Tried to keep my distance

But resistance wore right down

And I had to settle up with that old town

'Cause I could still remember when

November’s red and gold

But it fades just like an ember in the cold

So I got my bags together

And I went back down that line

And I never even knew what I would find

There were old familiar faces

To smile and wish me well

And I wondered why the lie I had to tell

No love…

That’s all right, there’s no love

No love is lost in me

No love…

That’s all right, there’s no love

No love is lost in me

No love…

That’s all right, there’s no love

No love is lost in me
