"Nobody's Crying" lyrics

He jumps in the taxi heading for the sky
He's off to slay some demon or dragonfly
He looking at me, that long last smile
I'll turn away again and wave 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

Darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off those gates of hell
And I can tell how hard you're trying
I just have that secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There'll be an endless rope
And nobody's crying."

Well, a couple long nights turn into a couple of long years
Of me walking, walking around this trail of tears
Where the very loud voices of my own fears
It's ringing and ringing 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

Darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off those gates of hell
And I can tell how hard you're trying
I just have a secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There'll be an endless rope
And nobody's crying

May you dream you are sleeping
In a warm soft bed
And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread
Turn into 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 those gates of hell
And I can tell how hard you're trying
I just have that secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope
Nobody's crying
And nobody's crying
