She was a shy girl from the 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

And in her mind she'd drift away

A secret place to steal away

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

He was a good boy from the upside 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

And in her mind she'd drift away

A secret place to steal away

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

And in her mind she'd drift away

A secret place to steal away

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

No more lies

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
