Three Manhattans Lyrics

(Verse)
Well I'm gone again, give them my best
I'll float my wishes to the west
When I come home, it'll all be fine

But it's the way it goes and ain't it so
The fastest one to let it go
Always out of sight and out of mind

Now the coins go tumblin' through the cracks
There ain't no way she's ever gonna get them back
And the tears come hard like the cold November rain

And it's safe to say that we both know
That I don't really have to say I told you so
‘Cause if I did, I'd have to again and again and again

(Chorus)
But with tattered wings
Staggerin' against the wind
It's so damn hard to fly
But that old bird
Never understood a word
Of taking flight alone without a plan
I'll be there when she lands
(Verse)
Now the struggle's on and it won't be long
‘Til winter's clutch is holdin' strong
And I do believe it won't soon be letting go So bid farewell to the ones you knew
Like a drunk old sinner born a-new
And say hello to the sweeping winds of change

(Chorus)
Yeah, speed it up my friend
The sooner you're caught, then the sooner you'll mend
And your wounds will heal in time
It takes one to know one
Now you should know that by now
Don't you feel bad?
It's all you ever had

(Bridge)
And though I really can't believe the things that I have seen
It puts my feet back on the ground where yours probably should have been
All along, throughout the song, three Manhattans and we can't move alone

(Chorus)
Let's skip ahead some years
The dust has settled and the smoke has cleared
And all is well and fine
There's no thunder or lightning
The water's warm and the fish are biting
There's no bumps in the road that I can see
Smooth sailing on the sea
