Phantom Bride lyrics

She was a shy girl from the lonely streets.

She had no job to do, no friends to meet.

She'd sit in silence in her empty 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 other side of town,

said he could treat her right, 

said he could win her 'round.

Her morning sickness and the kick inside,

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 teardrops 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 eyes.

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.

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.

Don't you cry.
