Lyrics: Say Hello Wave Goodbye
Album: White Ladder
Artist: David Gray
 

standing at the door of the pink flamingo
Crying 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, please
I don’t belong to you, you see.

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, and it just wasn’t me.
You’re used to wearing less, and now your life’s a mess.
So insecure you seem.

I put up with all the scenes,
This is one scene,
That’s goin to be played my way

Take your hands off me, please
I don’t belong to you, you see.

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 sliding down.
Well hey little girl, you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown.

As for me well, i’ll find some one
Who’s not going cheap in the sales.
A nice little house wife, who’ll give me a steady life.
And not keep going off the rails.

Take your hands off me, please
I don’t belong to you, you see.

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 wind.
Who were we to understand.
We were born before the wind
Say goodbye.

Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow,
Say good bye.
And i’m trying, trying, trying
To say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.

In the wind and the rain my darling.

Say goodbye.

In the wind and the rain my darling…
