Say Hello Wave Goodbye lyrics - 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, it 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 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 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 and wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

We were born before the whale
Who are we to understand
We were born before the whale
Say goodbye

Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow
Say goodbye
Get on the train, train, train
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
