Bluegirls come in every size, some are wise and so me otherwise
They got pretty blue eyes, for an hour a man may ch ange
For an hour her face looks strange, looks strange, looks str ange
Marching to the promised l and
Where the honey flows and ta kes you by the hand
Pulls you down on your knees, while you're down a pool app ears
The face in the water looks up, and she shakes her head as if to s ay
That it's the last time you'll look like tod ay
(add )
Sail away, away, ripples never come back
Gone to the other side, sail away, away
The face that launched a thousand sh ips
Is sinking fast that ha ppens you know
The water gets below, seems not very long ag o
Lovelier she was than any that I kn ow
Angels never know it's time, to close the book and gra cefully decline
The song has found a tale, my what a jealous pool is s he
The face in the water looks up, she shakes her head as if to s ay
That the bluegirls have all gone aw ay
(add )
Sail away, away, ripples never come back
They've gone to the other side
(add )
Look into the pool, ripples never come back
Dive to the bottom and go to the top, to see where they have g one
(add )
Oh they've gone to the other side, ripples never come back
Sail away, away
(add )
Sail away, away, ripples never come back
