Ripples lyrics

Bluegirls come in every size

Some are wise and some otherwise,

They got pretty blue eyes.

For an hour a man may change

For an hour her face looks strange ~

Looks strange, looks strange.

Marching to the promised land

Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand.

Pulls you down on your knees,

While you're down a pool appears.

The face in the water looks up.

And she shakes her head as if to say

That it's the last tie you'll look like today.

Sail away, away

Ripples never come back.

Gone to the other side.

Sail away, away.

The face that launched a thousand ships

Is sinking fast, that happens you know,

The water gets below.

Seems not very long ago

Lovelier she was than any that I know.

Angels never know it's time

To close the book and gracefully decline,

The song has found a tale.

My, what a jealous pool she is.

The face in the water looks up

She shakes her head as if to say

That the bluegirls have all gone away.

Sail away, away

Ripples never come back.

They've gone to the other side.

Look into the pool,

Ripples never come back.

Dive to the bottom and go to the top

To see where they have gone

Oh, they've gone to the other side
