Nettie

Lyrics

[Chorus: Peter Steele] 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 [Verse 1: Peter Steele] 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 [Chorus: Peter Steele] Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes [Verse 2: Peter Steele] 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 [Chorus: Peter Steele] Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes [Bridge: Kenny Hickey & Peter Steele] 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 (Invocus virium), but of course near (Solo crux matris sin) When you're sad (Novo vis for tuit), I'm always here (Rum repus omni dei) [Verse 3] Thank you for saving me from myself Your compassion became its own hell Unequivocally beautiful inside and out Without a doubt [Chorus: Peter Steele & Kenny Hickey] Nettie no need to cry Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes Nettie (Nettie) , no need to cry (Don't cry) Let me (Let me) wipe those tear drops from your eyes Nettie
