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 wanna cry again

Don't wanna cry again

I don't wanna 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 bring back words of a song

And they say: Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

You know?

I don't wanna fall again

I don't want to know this pain

I don't want another friend

I don't want to try again

Don't want to see you hurt

Don't let me see you hurt

I don't wanna 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

That my love's run dry

(I don't wanna 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
