You wave at the sky with wide lovely eyes 
Waves and waves of love go by 
And through the garden with your secret key 
Down the tunnel that leads to the sea 
Step on the beach beneath the iron skies 
You wave and wave your wide lovely eyes 
Crystal waves and waves of love 
You wave and say goodbye 

Your dress sides with your wide lovely strides 
And all along the street lately the stories are bound 
They've dismantled the fun fair and they've shut down the rides 
They've hung the mermaids from the streetlights by their hair 
And with wide lovely eyes you wave at the sky 
And near the high window watching the ride 
The waves of blue and the waves of love 
You wave and say goodbye 

The night expands, I am expanding 
I watch your hands like butterflies landing 
All among the myths and the legends we create 
And all the laughing stories we tell our friends 
Close the windows, clear up the mess 
It's getting late, it's darker and closer to the end 

Through the tunnel and down the sea 
And on the pebble beach releases you entire 
And arrange your shoes side by side 
You wave and wave with wide lovely eyes 
Distant waves and waves of distant love 
You wave and say goodbye
