************************************        

[Lyrics]
                      
Nettie, no need to cry
                                           
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
    
[x2]

                                      
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
    
[x2]

                                       
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
    
[x2]

              
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
                            
Far away, but of course near
                                
When you're sad, I'm always here

                                   
Thank you for saving me from myself
                                   
Your compassion became its own hell
                                      
Unequivocably beautiful inside and out
               
Without a doubt

        
[Chorus]
                      
Nettie, no need to cry
                                           
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
    
[x2]
