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 On the front page a black and white picture of Manhattan Skyline
