(Magne Furuholmen / Paal 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 (5X)
You know
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to say goodbye
I 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 good-byes
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 (5X)
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 try again
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
that 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
