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 
Then he blew his brains out 
At the other end 
The police took a call 
But 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
Now he´s brought a lot of blood
And he´s taken more
Than he ever should have done

She kept losing 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 
Cos they said they were on their way 
But they never heard 
That she was Lorraine
And they let her die there 
Without 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
