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
Nettie
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

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
Nettie
