Manhattan Skyline - Live on BBC R2 - Royal Albert Hall 2010
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
You know I don’t want to cry again Don’t want to cry again I don’t want to say goodbye Don’t wanna cry again I don’t wanna 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
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 bring back words of a song And they say wave goodbye Wave goodbye
You know I don’t want to fall again I don’t wanna know this pain I don’t want another friend I don’t wanna try again Don’t want to see you hurt Don’t let me see you hurt I don’t wanna 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 (I don’t wanna 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
