Nettie,
|
|
No need to cry
|
|
Let me
|
|
Wipe those tear drops from your eyes
|
|
|
|
Nettie,
|
|
No need to cry
|
|
Let me
|
|
Wipe those tear drops 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 tear drops 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 (Nettie),
|
|
No need to cry (to cry)
|
|
Let me (let me)
|
|
Wipe those tear drops 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 myself
|
|
Your compassion became its own hell
|
|
Unequivocally beautiful inside and out
|
|
Without a doubt
|
|
|
|
Nettie,
|
|
No need to cry
|
|
Let me
|
|
Wipe those tear drops from your eyes
|
|
|
|
Nettie (Nettie),
|

No need to cry (to cry)
|

Let me (let me)
|

Wipe those tear drops from your eyes

Let me...
