a-ha — Manhattan Skyline lyrics

Lyrics

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 cry again
I don’t want to say goodbye
Don’t want to cry again
I don’t want to run away
I don’t want to race 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 I 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 brings back words of a song
And they say, «Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Wave goodbye»
You know, I don’t want to fall again
I don’t want to know this pain
I don’t want another friend
I don’t want to cry again
I don’t 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 block
And white picture of Manhattan skyline
