Manhattan Skyline (demo) Songtext
von 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
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
On the front page, a black and white picture
Of Manhattan skyline
