A-HA LYRICS - Manhattan Skyline

"Manhattan Skyline"



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
