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

I'll never see your face again

I don't want to cry again



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 brings back words of a song

And they sing wave goodbye

Wave goodbye, wave goodbye

Wave goodbye, wave goodbye



You know I don't want to cry again

I'll never see your face again

I don't want to cry again



So I read to myself

A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
