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
