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
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
Yeah
Oh but how
how can you say
that I didn't try
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
brings 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
I don't want to know this pain
I don't want another friend
I don't want to try again
I never 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
I don't want to cry
So I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime
to see new horizons
