No Man's Land - Latin Quarter

For all the trees I couldn’t see the wood

Then all the wood got set alight.

A single spark and love went up in smoke

And still it burns into the night

You ran me ragged and you scattered me

Like leaves sent spinning in the fall

Indifference blowing like a desert wind

There’s nothing growing here at all

I’m here in no man’s land

I’m lost in no man’s land

Can’t find a helping hand

Out here in no man’s land

I’m here in no man’s land

I’m lost in no man’s land

No one can understand

This is no man’s land

Since you left I’m like a town closed down

The streets are choked with tumbleweed

I’m working out at the abandoned mine

For half the money I don’t need

OK you never promised me a Shangri-La

You never offered me paradise

But where I am I just don’t want to be

It’s hard as nails and cold as ice.

It’s a lost horizon

You’ve left me nothing

To set my sights on

But an empty runway and an unpaid fare

In a window seat on a plane to nowhere.
