Ripples Lyrics - A Trick Of The Tail - Genesis

Bluegirls come in every size 

Some are wise and some otherwise 

They got pretty blue eyes 

For an hour a man may change 

For an hour her face looks strange 

Looks strange, looks strange 

Marching to the promised land 

Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand 

Pulls you down on your knees 

While you're down a pool appears 

The face in the water looks up 

And she shakes her head as if to say 

That it's the last time you'll look like today

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Sail away, away 

Ripples never come back 

Gone to the other side 

Sail away, away 

The face that launched a thousand ships 

Is sinking fast, that happens you know 

The water gets below. 

Seems not very long ago 

Lovelier she was than any that I know 

Angels never know it's time 

To close the book and gracefully decline 

The song has found a tale 

My, what a jealous pool is she 

The face in the water looks up 

She shakes her head as if to say 

That the bluegirls have all gone away 

Sail away, away 

Ripples never come back 

They've gone to the other side 

Look into the pool 

Ripples never come back 

Dive to the bottom and go to the top 

To see where they have gone 

Oh, they've gone to the other side... 

Sail away, away 

Ripples never come back 

Gone to the other side 

Look into the pool 

The ripples never come back, come back 

Dive to the bottom and go to the top 

To see where they have gone 

They've gone to the other side 

Ripples never come back 

Sail away, away...
