Manhattan Skyline Lyrics - Scoundrel Days - A-ha

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 

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 may 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 

Wave goodbye, wave goodbye 

Wave goodbye, wave goodbye

But you know 

I don't want to fall again 

I don't want to look this pain 

I don't want another friend 

I don't want to try 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
