He jumps in a taxi, hands for the sky

He's off to slay some demon or dragonfly

He's lookin' at me, that long last time

I'll turn away again and I wave 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 those gates of hell

And I can tell how hard you're trying

And just have our secret hope

Sometimes all we do is cope

Somewhere on the steepest slope

There'll be an endless rope

And nobody's crying.

Well a couple of long nights turn into a couple of long years

Of me walkin' 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.

Darling, I wish you well

On your way to the wishing well

Swinging off those gates of hell

And I can tell how hard you're trying

And just have our 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 sleepin', in a warm soft bed

And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread

Turn 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

And I can tell how hard you're trying

And just have our secret hope

Sometimes all we do is cope

Somewhere on the steepest slope

There'll be an endless rope

And nobody's crying

And nobody's crying.
