She shakes her head as if to say
Sail away, away
Ripples never come back
Is sinking fast, that happens you know
To see where they have gone
Ripples never come back
While you're down a pool appears
The face that launched a thousand ships
Sail away, away
Gone to the other side
And she shakes her head as if to say
Dive to the bottom and go to the top
That the blue girls have all gone away
The song has found a tale
They've gone to the other side
And takes you by the hand
Sail away, away
Looks strange, looks strange
Where the honey flows
Ripples never come back
Pulls you down on your knees
The water gets below, seems not very long ago
The face in the water looks up
Ripples never come back
Gone to the other side
Sail away, away
And gracefully decline
For an hour her face looks strange
Dive to the bottom and go to the top
Marching to the promised land
Look into the pool, ripples never come back
Sail away, away
They've gone to the other side
To see where they have gone
Sail away, away
To close the book
The face in the water looks up
For an hour a man may change
They got pretty blue eyes
My, what a jealous pool is she
Look into the pool, the ripples never come back, come back
Lovelier she was than any that I know
That it's the last time you'll look like today
They've gone to the other side
Angels never know it's time
