Nobody's Cryin'

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'
