Ripples Lyrics - Genesis Revisited Ii - Steve Hackett

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 

Ripples never come back 

Sail away, away...
