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
