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 her 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
