Well, he jumps in a taxi headed for the sky
He's off to slay some demon dragonflies
And he looks at me that long last time
Turns away again and I waved goodbye
In an envelope inside his coat
Is the chain I wore around my throat
Along with a note I wrote
It says I love you but I don't even know why
Darlin' I wish you well
On your way to the wishin' well
Swingin' off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're tryin'
I just have this secret hope
And sometimes all we do is cope
That somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope and nobody's cryin'
Well, a long night turns into a couple long years
And we walkin' around with this trail of tears
In the the very loud voices of my own fears
Are ringin' and ringin' in my ear
It says that love is long gone
Every move I make is all wrong
Says you never gave the damn for me
For anythin', for anyone
Darlin' I wish you well
On your way to the wishin' well
Swingin' off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're tryin'
I just have this secret hope
And sometimes all we do is cope
That somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope and nobody's cryin'
May you dream you are dreamin', 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 layin' your head
I wish you well
On your way to the wishin' well
Swingin' off of those gates of hell
But I can tell how hard you're tryin'
I just have this secret hope
And sometimes all we do is cope
That somewhere on the steepest slope
There'll be an endless rope and nobody's cryin'
Nobody's cryin', nobody's cryin'
