Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was a shy girl from a lonely street
She had no job to do and no friends to meet
She'd sit in silence in her rented room
Dream of her childhood and invented truths
[Verse 2]
And in her mind, she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
[Verse 3]
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
[Verse 4]
He was a good boy from the other side of town
Said he could treat her right, said he could win her round
Her morning sickness and the kick inside
The phantom kisses of the phantom bride
[Verse 5]
And in her mind, she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
[Verse 6]
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the teardrops from your eyes
[Verse 7]
And in her mind, she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
[Verse 8]
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears
No more, no more lies
[Verse 9]
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears
No more, no more lies
[Verse 10]
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears
Let me wipe away the tears
