Lorraine

o lorraine
o lorraine

looks like tears again
but they'll never get you far
things are just the way they are
so let it go and say you tried
one last goodbye

o lorraine
o lorraine

so much life left in your veins
what goods a heart if it's unclaimed
can nothing ever stay the same
why do good friends go away
no more turnpikes
new york street lights
no more plane flights for lorraine

o lorraine
o lorraine

mother warned you of such things
love can give and take away
peoples words can rearrange
with so much left to say
