Nobody's Crying

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] 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” [Chorus] 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's an endless rope And nobody's crying [Verse 2] 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 A ringing and ringing in my ear [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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's an endless rope And nobody's crying [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
