Nettie

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, no need to cry
 Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
 Invocus virium
 Solo crux matris sin
 Novo vis for tuit
 Rum repus omni dei
 If you fall, I will catch you
 ♪
 When you're lost, I'll be there soon
 (If I fall) far away
 But of course near (here I am)
 When you're sad (memories on going)
 I'm always here (only us will remain)
 Thank you for saving me from myself
 Your compassion became its own hell
 Unequivocably beautiful inside and out
 Without a doubt
 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
