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
And just have this secret hope
'Cause sometimes all we do is cope
There's somewhere on the steepest slope
There'd be 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
We surely now 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
'Cause sometimes all we do is cope
There's somewhere on the steepest slope
There'd 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
And make the sound of thousands of angels instead
Tonight, where you might be laying your head
Now, 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
I still have this secret hope
'Cause sometimes all I do is cope
There's somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope and nobody's crying
Nobody's crying
Nobody's crying
