You wave at the sky with wild lovely eyes
|
Waves and waves of love goodbye
|
And through the garden with your secret key
|
Down the tunnel that leads to the sea
|
Step on the beach beneath the iron sky
|
You wave and wave with your wild lovely eyes
|
Crystal waves and waves of love
|
You wave and say goodbye
|
|
Your dress size with your wild lovely strides
|
And all along the street and lately the stories abound
|
They've dismantled the fun fair and they've shut down the rides
|
And they've hung the mermaids from the streetlights by their hair
|
And with wild lovely eyes you wave at the sky
|
And me at the high window watching the ride
|
The waves of blue and the waves of love
|
You wave and say goodbye
|
|
The night expands, I am expanding
|
I watch your hands like butterflies bending
|
All among the myths and the legends we create
|
And all the laughing stories we tell our friends
|
Close the windows, clear up the mess
|
It's getting late, it's darker and closer to the end
|
|
Through the tunnel and down to the sea
|
And on that pebble beach, your laces you untie
|
And arrange your shoes side by side
|
You wave and wave with your wide lovely eyes
|
Distant waves and waves of distant love
|
You wave and say goodbye
|
