Nobody's Cryin'

Lyrics

That just means so much, that you'd all come out here
 And... we're gonna finish up with this song
 Uh... It came to be really weird times in the world
 So, everybody hang in there while you take care of each other
 Um, this is a song called "Nobody's cryin'"
 ♪
 Well, he jumps in the taxi for the sky
 He's off to slay some demon dragonfly
 And he looks at me that long last time
 Turns away again and I waved goodbye
 In an envelope inside his coat
 Is a chain I wore around my throat
 Along with a note I wrote
 Said: "I love you, but I don't even know why
 But, darling, I wish you well
 On your way to the wishing well
 Swinging off of those gates of hell
 But I can tell how hard you're trying
 I just have this secret hope
 Sometimes all we do is cope
 Somewhere on the steepest slope
 There be an endless rope
 And nobody's crying
 ♪
 Well, the long night turns into a couple of long years
 Of me walking around and round this trail of tears
 Where the very loud voices of my own fear
 Are ringing and ringing in my ear
 It says that love is long gone
 Every move I make is all wrong
 Says you never gave a damn for me
 For anything, for anyone
 But, darling, I wish you well
 On your way to the wishing well
 Swinging off of those gates of hell
 But I can tell how hard you're trying
 I just have this secret hope
 Sometimes all we do is cope
 Somewhere on the steepest slope
 There be an endless rope
 And nobody's crying
 May you dream you are dreaming in a warm soft bed
 And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread
 Make the sounds of thousands of angels instead
 Tonight where you might be laying your head
 I wish you well
 On your way to the wishing well
 Swinging off of those gates of hell
 But I can tell how hard you're trying
 I still have this secret hope
 Sometimes all I do is cope
 Somewhere on the steepest slope
 There's an endless rope
 And nobody's crying"
 Nobody's crying
 Nobody's crying
 Thank you very, very much
