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 . . .
