And the Baby Never Cries

Well, I've sung out one more evening
 Yes I'm wrung out, feeling beat
 And I walk on out the door once more
 To an empty city street
 A good guitar will serve you well
 When you're living in the lights
 But it's never going to warm you
 In the middle of the night
 And so I come and go with her in whispers
 Each and every time she says she dies
 When she is reborn again, I kiss her
 And the baby never cries
 She works in the daytime
 She leaves her baby with a friend
 And I sing every evening
 I only see her now and then
 I come to her at midnight
 When 'bout half the world's asleep
 And she puts me back together
 In the hours before I leave
 So I come and go with her in whispers
 Each and every time she says she dies
 When she is reborn again, I kiss her
 And the baby never cries
 Her apartment's down on Perry Street
 And there's a tree in her backyard
 And it rubs the bedroom window
 When the wind is blowing hard
 Her old man had left her
 He just took off for the coast
 And I caught her on the rebound
 When I needed her the most
 So I come and go with her in whispers
 And each and every time she says she dies
 When she is reborn again, I kiss her
 And the baby never cries
