Genesis - Ripples Lyrics
Bluegirls come in every sizeSome are wise and some otherwise,They got pretty blue eyes.For an hour a man may changeFor an hour her face looks strange -Looks strange, looks strange.Marching to the promised landWhere the honey flows and takes you by the hand,Pulls you down on your knees,While youre down a pool appears.The face in the water looks up,And she shakes her head as if to sayThat its the last time youll look like today.Sail away, awayRipples never come back.Gone to the other side.Sail away, away.The face that launched a thousand shipsIs sinking fast, that happens you know,The water gets below.Seems not very long agoLovelier she was than any that I know.Angels never know its timeTo close the book and gracefully decline,The song has found a tale.My, what a jealous pool is she.The face in the water looks upShe shakes her head as if to sayThat the bluegirls have all gone away.Sail away, awayRipples never come back.Theyve gone to the other side.Look into the pool,Ripples never come back,Dive to the bottom and go to the topTo see where they have goneOh, theyve gone to the other side...Sail away, awayRipples never come back.Gone to the other side.Look into the pool,The ripples never come back, come back,Dive to the bottom and go to the topTo see where they have goneTheyve gone to the other sideRipples never come backSail away, away...
