We sit and watch umbrelas fly,

I'm trying to keep my Newspaper dry.
  F                   Dm                       Bbmaj7
I hear myself say "My boats leaving now" so we shake hands and cry
 
C/E        Dm             F              Dm
Now I must wave good-bye, wave good-bye, wave good-bye, 
F              Bb
wave good-bye, wave good-bye,
G                       Dm
wave good-bye. You know

I'll never see your face again.
