Genesis – Ripples
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 time 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 is she
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
Sail away, away
Ripples 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 top
To see where they have gone
They?ve gone to the other side
Ripples never come back
Sail away, away
