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   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   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      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's 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 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 of those gates of hell   But I can tell how hard you're trying   Still have this secret hope   Sometimes all I do is cope   Somewhere on the steepest slope    There's an endless rope   And nobody's crying   Nobody's crying   Nobody's crying
