The sun never shone that day From an early dawn the sky was grey I never should've walked away I know that now, but I'm here to say:
Everybody walks away Everybody's led astray Breaking every plan to stay It happens all the time The sun never shone that day From an early dawn the sky was grey I never should've walked I know I see that now, but it's hard to show
Everybody's got to go Everybody tells you so Everybody wants to know Why it happens all the time
I can't see the point of turning everything upside down I can't see the point of greeting everything with a frown I can't see the point of painting everything black or white I can't see the point of leaving everyone full of doubt (oh doubt)
The sun never shone that day From an early dawn the sky was grey I never should've walked away I see that now, but I'm here to say
Everybody holds their own Everybody lives alone Everybody hogs the phone It happens all the time
Everybody feels the strain Everybody holds the pain Everybody stays the same It happens all the time
I can see the point of turning everything upside down I can see the point of greeting everything with a frown I can see the point of painting everything black or white I can see the point of leaving everyone full of doubt Everyone full of doubt
The sun never shone that day
Manhattan Skyline
(Mags/Pal Waaktaar)
We sit and watch umbrellas fly I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry I hear myself say, "My boat's leaving now" ...so we shake hands and cry Now I must wave goodbye Wave goodbye Wave goodbye Wave goodbye Wave goodbye Wave goodbye
You know I don't want to cry again I don't want to cry again Don't want to say goodbye I don't want to cry again I don't want to run away Don't want to race this pain I'll never see your face again
Oh but how How can you say That I didn't try... You see things in the depths of my eyes That may love's run dry No...
We leave to their goodbyes I've come to depend on the look in their eyes My blood's sweet for pain The wind and the rain bring back words of a song And they say: wave goodbye Wave goodbye Wave goodbye Wave goodbye Wave goodbye Wave goodbye
But you know I don't want to fall again Don't want to look this pain Don't want another friend Don't want to try again Don't want to see you hurt Don't let me see you hurt I don't want to cry again I'll never see your face again
How can you say That I didn't try You know I did You see things in the depths of my eyes That my love's run dry
