    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



    You know

    I don''t want to cry again

    Don''t want to cry again

    I don''t want to say goodbye

    Don''t wanna cry again

    I don''t wanna 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...



    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



    You know

    I don''t want to fall again

    I don''t wanna know this pain

    I don''t want another friend

    I don''t wanna try again

    Don''t want to see you hurt

    Don''t let me see you hurt

    I don''t wanna 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 wanna 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
