Ripples (2007 - Remaster) - 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 its the last time youll 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 its 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

Theyve 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 theyve 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

Theyve gone to the other side

Ripples never come back

Sail away away

Sail away away
