No Milk Today

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dark
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

Well, how could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know what palace might have been
Behind the door, where my love reigns as queen?

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we turned night into day
After we played and came up from the dance
Well, that was where we sowed the seeds of our romance

Well, how could we know just what this message means?
The end of our hopes, the end of all our dreams
Then how could I know what palace might have been
Behind the door, where my love reigns as queen?

And all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in the Main Street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just to help you down

[Guitar solo]

But how would you know just what this message means?
The end of our hopes, the end of all our dreams
And how could I know what palace might have been
Behind the door, where my love reigns as queen?

No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dark

No milk today (no milk today)
No milk today (no milk today)
No milk today (no milk today)
No milk today (no milk today)
