Say Hello Wave Goodbye

David Gray

5

Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo, Crying in the rain

Here was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again

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

You were a run-around, a lost and found, then I found thee half healed

CHORUS

Take your hands of me

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 wan'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

CHORUS

Under the deep red light, I can see the make-up sliding 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 going cheap in the sales

A nice little house wife who'll give me the steady life and not keep going off the rails.

CHORUS

repeat Say hello- wave goodbye

We were born before the way, who are we to understand

We were born before the way, say goodbye

Through the rain, sleet and snow, get on the train and say goodbye, say goodbye, in the wind and the rain my darling, say goodbye

in the wind and the rain my darling.
