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.
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 have that secret hope
sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There'll be an endless rope
and nobody 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 that secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope there'll be an endless rope
And nobody 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 hanging your head
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'll be an endless rope
And nobody crying.
And nobody crying,
Nobody crying
Life is the riddle
Of which we're caught in the middle.
A couple of lucky ones
Tangled up in too much love

Patty is a goddess. When I saw you'd posted Making Pies...
Living with Ghosts is awesome. I think my fav song right now is Top of the World. Oh, and Rain.
I had a chance to see her live once and blew it off, how stupid is that?
People really should check her out.
yep, she's amazing. and virtually UNKNOWN, which is why you can still get to see her in the little places. though my plans for a trip to asheville, nc fell through for april and i won't be able to see her perform there, i DID get a ticket for her collingswood, nj show on april 14th. another small venue, which i LOVE.
