Ain't no love
Ain't no sun
Since my lover's gone
Only black skies remain
Under new blue
They tell me
I'll find a good love
Kind and loyal love
But they don't
Oh no they don't know
Ain't no love
Ain't no sun
Since my baby's gone away

I ain't gonna wait up
No I ain't gonna stay up
'cause he turned all the lights off
When he left that day

~

And since that day
Only black skies
Cold lifeless black skies
Come my way
I picture a bluesy crooner singing this in a 1920s speak-easy . . .
