"No Love Lost" lyrics - 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
