Lyrics Ripples… (5.1 mix) - Genesis

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
