Ripples

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 look strange, looks strange, looks strange Marching to the promised land, where the honey flows and takes you by the hand Pull you down on your knees, while you down a pool appears The face in the water looks up, and she shakes her hand 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,      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, want a jealous pool is she The face in the water looks up, she shakes her head as if to say That the blue girls 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
