"Manhattan Skyline" lyrics

"Manhattan Skyline"
(originally by 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

You know
I don't want to cry again
Don't want to cry again
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to try 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 brings back words of a song

And they say wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

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
I don't want to see you hurt
Don't let me see you hurt
I don't want to try 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
