Say Hello, Wave Goodbye Lyrics

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - David Gray

...

Standin' in the door of the Pink Flamingo cryin' in the rain

It was a kind of so-so love

And I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again

You and I had to be the standing joke of the year

You were a run-around, a lost and found and not for me, I feel

Take your hands off me, hey

I don't belong to you, you see

And take a look in my face for the last time

I never knew you, you never knew me

Say hello goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye

We tried to make it work

You in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit but it just wasn't me

You're used to wearing less

And now your life's a mess, so insecure you see

Well I put up with all the scenes

And this is one scene that's going to be played my way

Take your hands off me, hey

I don't belong to you, you see

And take a look in my face, for the last time

I never knew you, you never knew me

Say hello, goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye

Under the deep red light I can see the make up slidin' down

Well hey little girl you will always make up

So take off that unbecoming frown

As for me, well I'll find someone who's not goin' cheap in the sales

A nice little housewife

Who'll give me a steady life and not keep going off the rails

Take your hands off me, hey

I don't belong to you, you see

And take a look in my face, for the last time

I never knew you, you never knew me

Say hello, goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye

Say hello, wave goodbye

Goodbye

Say goodbye

Say goodbye

We were born before the waves

Who are we to understand?

We were born before the waves

Say goodbye

Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow

Say goodbye

Get on the train, train, train

And say goodbye

Say goodbye

Say goodbye

Say goodbye

In the wind and the rain now, darling

Say goodbye

In the wind and the rain now, darling
