manhattan skyline

taken from the balcony of the New Jersey apartment i was staying in.
to get to new york, we had to cross the Lincoln tunnel to get across the river.


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 good-bye
wave good-bye
wave good-bye
Wave good-bye
wave good-bye

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 good-byes
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 good-bye
wave good-bye
wave good-bye
Wave good-bye
wave good-bye

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.
