Nobody's Crying

Lyrics

He jumps in the taxi, for the sky
 He's off to slay some demon dragonfly
 And he looked 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"
 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
 Just have this secret hope
 Sometimes all we do is cope
 Somewhere on the steepest slope
 There's an endless rope and nobody's crying
 ♪
 Well a long night turns into a couple long years
 And me walkin' around, around this trail of tears
 Where the very loud voices of my own fears
 Is ringin' and ringin' in my ears
 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
 Just have this secret hope
 Sometimes all we do is cope
 Somewhere on the steepest slope
 There'll 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
 ♪
 You still have this secret hope
 Sometimes all I do is cope
 Somewhere on the steepest slope
 There'll be an endless rope and nobody's crying
 Nobody's crying, nobody's crying
