Manhattan Skyline Lyrics
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 that 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
"The chance of a life time to see new horizons"

I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say: "My boat's leaving now"
So we shake hands and cry
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again
I don't want to cry again
I've come to depend on that look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain brings back words of a song
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again
I don't want to cry again
"The chance of a life time to see new horizons"
On the front page
A black and white picture of Manhattan Skyline

Thids song is so beautiful, it almost makes me cry.
Almost.. But then it's extraordinarily peaceful too.
This was the last song they performed at their recent performace at Singapore's Mosaic Music Festival. It's a cover of an old A-Ha hit song wat back in 1986. There's something about the harmony in their voices that makes you want to listen to it over and over again.
I prefer this to the original. The emotion is conveyed differently...softer, but stronger somehow. It's one of the few songs that makes me cry.
This is a beautiful, beautiful song. It paints such a vivid picture in my mind of the parting scene.
