For No One

Your day breaks
your mind aches
you find that all her words of kindness
linger on
when she no longer needs you.
She wakes up
she makes up
she takes her time
and doesn't feel she has to hurry
she no longer needs you.
And in her eyes
you see nothing
no sign of love behind the tears
cried for no one
a love that should have lasted years.
You want her
you need her
and yet you don't believe her
when she says
her love is dead
you think she needs you.
And in her eyes
you see nothing
no sign of love behind the tears
cried for no one
a love that should have lasted years.
You stay home
she goes out
she says that long ago
she knew someone
but now he's gone
she doesn't need him.
Your day breaks
your mind aches
there will be times
when all the things she said
will fill you head
you wont forget her.
And in her eyes
you see nothing
no sign of love behind the tears
cried for no one
a love that should have lasted years.

THOUGHT AND COMMENTS: I've always thought this song was romantic in a sad sort of way. Also, I remember when I first heard this song last summer and I thought a couple things-I thought of it taking place in maybe the 40's in England. It made me think of fall, leaves falling, wind blowing, the coldness of fall. I don't know if its just me but does this make anyone else think of fall??? And the thing I love about this song is, it was written in the third person (I think that's what its called) and its almost like the singer is looking down at these two people and singing about what he sees. Very mysterious in way...

  1. I love the trumpet solo in this song. Kinda prefigures "Penny Lane". Good post.
