Lyrics

(Mags/pal waaktaar)

We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say
"My boat's leaving now"
...So we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

You know
I don't want to cry again
Don't want to try again
I don't want to say goodbye
Don't ever want to cry again
I don't want to run away
I don't want to raise this pain
I'll never see your face again

Oh but how
How can you say
That I didn't try..
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That may love's run dry
No..

I leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet from pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
And we say: wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

You know
I don't want to fall again
Don't want to know this pain
Don't want another friend
I don't want to try again
Don't ever want to see you hurt
Don't let me see you hurt
I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again

How can you say
That I didn't try
You know I did
You see things in the depths of my eyes
My love's run dry

I don't want to cry again…

...So I read to myself:
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
On the front page
A black and white picture
Of manhattan skyline
