nobody's cryin'
As I'm sittin' 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 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"  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's an endless rope  And nobody's crying  Well a long night turns into a couple long years Of 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's 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 sound 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 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
