作词 : Griffin
Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky
He's off to slay some demon dragonfly
And he looked at me, that long last time
Turned 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 that secret hope
sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There's an endless rope
and nobody's crying.
The long night turns into a couple long years
Of me walking around and round this trail of tears
With the very loud voices of my own tears
ringing and ringing 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, to 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
I just had this secret hope
Though sometimes all we'd do is cope
That 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
May the voices inside you that fill you with dread
Sound like 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
I still have this secret hope
Though sometimes all I do is cope
That somewhere on the steepest slope
there's an endless rope
And nobody' crying.
