Ripples (Live from The Lyceum Theatre, London, 6th & 7th May 1980)

Lyrics

Blue girls 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 It pulls you down on your knees While you're down, a pool appears And the face in the water looks up She shakes her head as if to say That it's the last timе you'll look like today, hey, hey Sail away, away Oh, thе ripples never come back They gone to the other side So sail away, away, ooh The face that launched a thousand ships It's sinking fast, that happens, you know Yes, the water gets below Seems not very long ago Lovelier she was than any that I know Angels they never know it's time To close the book and gracefully decline Now the song has found a tale My, what a jealous pool is she And the face in the water looks up She shakes her head as if to say That the blue girls have all gone away, hey, hey Sail away, away Oh, the ripples they never come back Yes, they've gone to the other side So look into the pool, you see Ripples they never come back, no they never come back So dive to the bottom and go to the top To see where they have gone, she said They've gone to the other side, oh, ooh Sail away, away You know that the ripples, they never come back Yes, they've gone to the other side, oh So look, take a look into the pool, you see The ripples they never come back, no they never come back So dive to the bottom and go to the top To see where they have gone Yes, they've gone, they've gone to the other side, no, no, no, no The ripples they never come back, they never come back So sail away, sail away, hey No, no, no, no, no, ooh You know they never come back They never come back, they never come back So sail away, away, hey Ooh, they never come back, they never come back, they never come back So sail away, away, hey
