Nobody's Crying Lyrics - 1000 Kisses - Patty Griffin

He jumps in the taxi, for the sky 

He's off to slay some demon dragonfly 

And he looked 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" 

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 

And 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'll be 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 sounds 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 

You still have this secret hope 

Sometimes all I do is cope 

Somewhere on the steepest slope 

There'll be an endless rope and nobody's crying 

Nobody's crying, nobody's crying
