Goodbye Girl

I met her at a party

Her name I didn't catch

She looked like something special

The kind who'd understand

The room was almost spinning

She pulled another smile

She had the Grace-like leisure

She had a sudden style

Sunlight on the lino

Woke me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she's gone

Goodbye Girl

She took me to a motel

Her room on the second floor

Candles and cups of coffee

Her number on the door

She said I hardly know you

Agreed we kissed goodnight

I knew that in the mornin

Somehow I'd wake to find

Sunlight on the lino

Wakin me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she's gone

Goodbye Girl

I lost my blue address book

My papers and my weed

The money in the billfold

It doesn't bother me

My squeeze has moved to Boston

So mum is not the word

If you should ever see her

Say hello goodbye girl
