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 good's 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 No more turnpikes, New York street lights No more plane flights for Lorraine No more turnpikes, New York street lights No more plane flights for Lorraine No more turnpikes, New York street lights No more plane flights for Lorraine
