She was a shy girl from the lonely street
She had no job to do and no friends to meet
She'd sit in silence in her rented room
Dream of her childhood and invented truthsAnd in her mind, she'd drift away
A secret place to steal awayDon't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away tears from your eyesHe was a good boy from the upside of town
Said he could treat her right, said he could win her round
Her morning sickness and the kick inside
The phantom kisses of the phantom brideAnd in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal awayDon't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away tears from your eyesAnd in her mind, she'd drift away
A secret place to steal awayDon't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away tears from your eyes, no more liesDon't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away tears from your, no more liesDon't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears
