He jumps in the taxi, for the sky
Heâ²s off to slay some demon dragonfly
And he looked 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"
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 youâ²re 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
And me walkinâ² around, around this trail of tears
Where the very loud voices of my own fears
Is ringinâ² 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 youâ²re trying
Just have this secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There'll be an endless rope and nobodyâ²s 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 sounds 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
You still have this secret hope
Sometimes all I do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
Thereâ²ll be an endless rope and nobody's crying
Nobody's crying, nobodyâ²s crying
