No One Waits

No one waits behind his door

Just the morning papers

And that coffee cup of hers

She was warm like a woman is

But when there's nothing left to give

You lose your sense of humour

No one waits behind her door

Just the worn out dresses

And that coffee cup of his

He was warm like a man can be

But when there's nothing left to give

You lose your sense of humour

The carnival gives way, and the Ferris-wheel stops

And the clowns, they're not laughing anymore

The clowns, they're not laughing anymore

The circus left town yesterday

Left me walking the hot wire

We were but touch away

Girl we couldn't get much higher

When there's nothing left to give

You lose your sense of humour

The carnival gives way, and the Ferris-wheel stops

And the clowns, they're not laughing anymore

The clowns, they're not laughing anymore

No one waits behind the door

There's a thousand reasons why

Had this feeling once before

'Cause when you got nothing left to give

No feelings left to keep we'll hear it

When there's nothing left to give

You lose your sense of humour

Nothing left to give

Nothing left to give

Nothing left to give

When there's nothing left to give

You lose your sense of humour
