Patty Griffin - Nobody's Crying Lyrics
Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the skyHe's off to slay some demon dragonflyAnd he looked at me, that long last timeTurned away again and I waved goodbyeIn an envelope, inside his coatIs a chain I wore, around my throatAlong with, a note I wroteSaid "I love you but, I don't even know why"But darling, I wish you wellOn your way to the wishing wellSwinging off of those gates of hellBut I can tell how hard you're tryingJust have that secret hopesometimes all we do is copeSomewhere on the steepest slopeThere'll be an endless ropeand nobody crying.Well a long night turns into a couple long yearsOf me walkin' around, around this trail of tearsWhere the very loud voices of my own fearsIs ringin' and ringin' in my earsIt says that love is long goneEvery move I make is all wrongSays you never gave a damn for meFor anything, for anyoneBut darling, I wish you wellOn your way to the wishing wellSwinging off of those gates of hellBut I can tell how hard you're trying,Just have that secret hopeSometimes all we do is copeSomewhere on the steepest slopethere'll be an endless ropeAnd nobody crying.May you dream you are dreaming, in a warm soft bedAnd may the voices inside you that fill you with dreadMake the sound of thousands of angels insteadTonight where you might be laying your headBut darling, I wish you wellOn your way to the wishing wellSwinging off of those gates of hellBut I can tell how hard you're tryingJust have that secret hopeSometimes all we do is copeSomewhere on the steepest slopethere'll be an endless ropeAnd nobody crying.And nobody crying,Nobody crying
