You wave at the sky with your wide lovely eyes
Waves and waves of love goodbye
Through the garden with your secret key
And down the tunnel that leads to the sea
Step on the beach beneath the iron skies
You wave and wave with your wide lovely eyes
Crystal waves and waves of love
You wave and say goodbye
Your dress size with your wide lovely strides
All along the street lately, the stories abound
They've dismantled the funfair, and they've shut down the rides
And they've hung the mermaids from the street lights by their hair
With wide lovely eyes, you wave at the sky
And me at the high window watching you ride
The waves of blue and the waves of love
You wave and say goodbye
The night expands, I am expanding
I watch your hands like butterflies bending
All among the myths and the legends we create
And all the laughing those stories we tell our friends
Close the windows, clear up the mess, it's gettin' late
It's darker now and it's closer to the end
Through the tunnel and down the sea
On the pebble beach, your laces you untie
And arrange of shoes, side by side
You wave and wave with your wide lovely eyes
Distant waves and waves of distant love
You wave and say goodbye
