i wave bye bye

just outside the harbor

all the ships asleep

maybe one cold watchman

walks a lonely beat

and way out on the water

a ship is under sail

leaving wavy starlight

and a dreamer in her trail

i wave bye bye

i pray godspeed

i wish you lovely weather

more luck than you'll need

you'll only sail in circles

so there's no need to cry

oh

i'll see you again one day

and then i waved bye bye

a sailing ship reminds me

of a certain girl

who left a certain dreamer

to sail into her world

i've very friendly postcards

from very far away

but they just remind me

of a certain day

when i waved bye bye

i prayed godspeed

i wished you lovely weather

more luck than you'll need

we only sail in circles

so there's no need to cry

yes

i'll see you again one day

and then i'll wave bye bye
