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
Don't wanna say goodbye
Don't ever wanna cry again
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 (wave goodbye)
You know
I don't want to fall again
Don't want to look this pain
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
Oh, no
I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
