Nettie

[00:22.72] Nettie, no need to cry
[00:31.93] Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
[00:40.14]
[00:59.28] In the dark bathed in Cathode ray blue
[01:02.85] Miss Red Hook of 1922
[01:07.34] Weeping silently for the pain of others
[01:16.20] Every night a tearful rosary
[01:20.39] A victim of the curse of empathy
[01:24.12] Her reward for compassion is to suffer
[01:31.31]
[01:35.28] Nettie, no need to cry
[01:43.75] Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
[01:52.02] My shortcomings I know caused her grief
[01:55.71] Still she loves me. This I can't believe!
[01:59.92] Responding not with anger but a prayer
[02:06.70]
[02:09.39] Heaven's just Southwest of Cobble Hill
[02:13.68] True, I am the son of an Angel
[02:17.45] Maternally, not one woman compares
[02:25.00]
[02:27.95] Nettie, no need to cry
[02:35.61] Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
[02:44.55] If you fall, I will catch you
[02:51.40]
[03:11.80] When you're lost, I'll be there soon
[03:18.13]
[03:20.28] Far away, but of course near
[03:28.96] When you're sad, I'm always here
[03:37.58] Thank you for saving me from myself
[03:41.34] Your compassion became it's own hell
[03:45.18] Unequivocably beautiful inside and out
[03:52.02] Without a doubt
[03:55.45] Nettie, no need to cry
[04:03.76] Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
[04:10.01]
