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

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 outside 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 eye
Don´t you cry, don´t you cry
Let me wipe away the tears no more
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
