Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 looks strange

Looks strange, looks strange

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Sail away, away

Ripples never come back

Gone to the other side

Sail away, away

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

The face in the water looks up

She shakes her head as if to say

That the blue girls have all gone away

[Verse 8]

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

They've gone to the other side

[Verse 9]

Sail away, away

Ripples never come back

Gone to the other side

Looks 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

[Verse 10]

Ripples never come back

Sail away, away

Sail away, away

Ripples never come back
