Genesis - Ripples lyrics

Bluegirls come in every size<br>Some are wise and some otherwise,<br>They got pretty blue eyes.<br>For an hour a man may change<br>For an hour her face looks strange -<br>Looks strange, looks strange.<br><br>Marching to the promised land<br>Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand,<br>Pulls you down on your knees,<br>While you're down a pool appears.<br>The face in the water looks up,<br>And she shakes her head as if to say<br>That it's the last time you'll look like today.<br><br>Sail away, away<br>Ripples never come back.<br>Gone to the other side.<br>Sail away, away.<br><br>The face that launched a thousand ships<br>Is sinking fast, that happens you know,<br>The water gets below.<br>Seems not very long ago<br>Lovelier she was than any that I know.<br><br>Angels never know it's time<br>To close the book and gracefully decline,<br>The song has found a tale.<br>My, what a jealous pool is she.<br>The face in the water looks up<br>She shakes her head as if to say<br>That the bluegirls have all gone away.<br><br>Sail away, away<br>Ripples never come back.<br>They've gone to the other side.<br>Look into the pool,<br>Ripples never come back,<br>Dive to the bottom and go to the top<br>To see where they have gone<br>Oh, they've gone to the other side...<br><br>Sail away, away<br>Ripples never come back.<br>Gone to the other side.<br>Look into the pool,<br>The ripples never come back, come back,<br>Dive to the bottom and go to the top<br>To see where they have gone<br>They've gone to the other side<br>Ripples never come back<br>Sail away, away...
