As the blood flowed

Lorraine knew

That there'd be nobody coming

Nobody's coming

As the blood flowed

Lorraine knew

That there'd be nobody coming



The call came in

Lorraine shot down

Her husband pulled the trigger

And then he blew his brains out

At the other end

The police took a call

They didn't believe

That he was dead at all

So they wouldn't help her

And she knew



It had been 20 years

Since they fell in love

He's brought a lot of pain

But now he's brought a lot of blood

And he's taken more

Than his share



We can't lose a life

The police chief said

There's an armed man in there

Who'd be better off dead

As Lorraine bled from the legs



And as the blood flowed

Lorraine knew

That there'd be nobody coming

Nobody's coming

As the blood flowed Lorraine knew

That there'd be nobody coming



Speak to me now

But all she could say

Was, I don't want to die like this

So they said they're on their way

But they never heard

That she was Lorraine

So they didn't let her die

With even her name

As she left us all in pain



And as the blood flowed

Lorraine knew

That there'd be nobody coming

Nobody's coming

As the blood flowed

Lorraine knew

That there'd be nobody coming
