Manhattan Skyline

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



You know I don't want to cry again, I don't want to cry again

Don't want to say goodbye, I don't want to cry again

I don't want to run away, 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 my love's run dry, no, we leave to their goodbyes

I've come to depend on the look in their eyes

My blood's sweet for pain

The wind and the rain bring back words of a song

And they say wave goodbye, wave goodbye



But you know I don't want to fall again, don't want to know this pain

Don't want another friend, don't want to try again

Never 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 thngs in the depths of my eyes that my loves run dry



So I read to myself a chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
