Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
In the dark bathed in Cathode ray blue
Miss Red Hook of 1922
Weeping silently for the pain of others
Every night a tearful rosary
A victim of the curse of empathy
Her reward for compassion is to suffer
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
My shortcomings I know caused her grief
Still she loves me. This I can't believe!
Responding not with anger but a prayer
Heaven's just Southwest of Cobble Hill
True, I am the son of an Angel
Maternally, not one woman compares
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
If you fall, I will catch you
When you're lost, I'll be there soon
Far away, but of course near
When you're sad, I'm always here
Thank you for saving me from my self
Your compassion became it's own hell
Unequally beautiful inside and out
Without a doubt
Nettie, no need to cry
Let Me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes In the dark bathed in Cathode ray blue Miss Red Hook of 1922 Weeping silently for the pain of others Every night a tearful rosary A victim of the curse of empathy Her reward for compassion is to suffer Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes My shortcomings I know caused her grief Still she loves me. This I can't believe! Responding not with anger but a prayer Heaven's just Southwest of Cobble Hill True, I am the son of an Angel Maternally, not one woman compares Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes If you fall, I will catch you When you're lost, I'll be there soon Far away, but of course near When you're sad, I'm always here Thank you for saving me from my self Your compassion became it's own hell Unequally beautiful inside and out Without a doubt Nettie, no need to cry Let Me wipe those teardrops from your eyes Explain Request ×
