Lyrics for Manhattan Skyline - Demo

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 Don't wanna say goodbye Don't ever wanna cry again Don't want to 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 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 And they say wave goodbye, wave goodbye Wave goodbye, wave goodbye Wave goodbye (wave goodbye) You know I don't want to fall again Don't want to look this pain Don't want another friend I don't want to try again Don't 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 Oh, no 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
