No Milk Today

No milk today, my love has gone away

The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn

No milk today, it seems a common sight

But people passing by, don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means

The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams

How could they know a palace there had been

Behind the door, where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so

The company was gay, we turned night into day

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely

A terraced house in a mean street back of town

Becomes a shrine, when I think of you

Only just two up two down

No milk today, it wasn't always so

The company was gay, we turned night into day

As music played the faster did we dance

We felt it both at once, the start of our romance.

How could they know just what this message means

The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams

How could they know a palace there had been

Behind the door, where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, my love has gone away

The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
