The children sit upon the stairs 
High above a valley of tears 
Don't let them see you crying that way oh no 
Oh no Joe Porterhouse 
Is not gone forever 
He'll be back another day 
Don't let them see you crying that way 

[Chorus:] 
Please don't wake him let him sleep 
It's a moment she can keep 
Like an old bus ticket or a photograph 
Resting on the mantelpiece 
While for the wicked there is no peace 
She says it's not his time to go 
Why we were nearly lovers years ago 
Now what is left for me 
Among the broken branches of the family tree 
Heart like an anchor 
Arms like cable 
He stood all alone on an iron turntable 
Don't let them see you crying that way oh no 
The sun beats down 
It's cracking the flags 
Boys who should know better 
Are stamping out fags 
Don't let them see you laughing that way 

[Chorus:] 

Oh no Joe Porterhouse 
Is not gone forever 
He'll be back another day 
Don't let them see you crying that way
