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"

But 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- a couple 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

But 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 I do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There´ll be an endless rope
And nobody´s crying
And nobody´s crying
