Manhattan Skyline Songtext
von Ihsahn

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 raise 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
Now I must wave goodbye

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
Don't ever 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
I don't want to cry again

So I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
