Say Hello, Wave Goodbye Lyrics:
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

Anyone listenening in 2024?
24
two weeks after you. love this song
no
46 now ,and still coming back to it.🏴
Hello and yes totally adore this song!
I was so blessed to finally see David’s anniversary tour in Dublin last year.
And he only brought on Mark Almond for this and then Tainted Love!
Wonderful end to a motorcycle tour of Ireland.
15 years ago. My darkest times.
Found the courage tonight to play this back.
Feels like I am back there.
I’m glad I survived.
❤️🩹🕯️⭐️
Happy for you
@@fremontpathfinder8463 thanks 🙏 I hope you’re well.
Here for similar reasons... Stay sweet my friend x
You will survive. You will meet someone who will not betray you.
Found this song tonight. My friend died this morning. He introduced me to David Gray back in 2004. Perfect song for saying goodbye to my pal. RIP Mark Jones.
Im so sorry sweetheart for your loss Its not easy losing somebody you care about Before my Dad died in my arms He told me You will never be alone i will walk with you always Thats what your friend will do
I will hold you in my heart and prayers Jenny 🌹🌹
I’m so sorry
1st heard this on the radio working night shift on a contract in Belfast driving home in the morning. Stopped at Wellworths and bought the CD. When I got back to digs realised I didn't have a CD player.......back to Wellworths....what a dick?
23 years old, my younger sisters fiancee, couldnt go on anymore. David Gray being a favourite of his, this was played as he was brought out and carried through. Beautiful. Stay strong,,talking about your memories of good times spent together ive found really helps. Another good tune, Coldplay, Dont panic x
He's the best songs these days load of shit he's no 1 Bob Dylan don't play music like this anymore it's all blood clout Daniel Ellis tell u the truþh God bleeds take caare
Easily the best cover of this song ever done.
Second that!!!🏴
Honestly didn’t know it was a cover. But I have been loving it since 2001.
Play this album when I want to remember my wife, who sadly succumbed to a terminal illness, but this was "our" song, brings back so so many happy memories of when we fell in love - love you always Lindsey💔
The song is about hating an outgoing girl and wanting just a housewife who is simple
God bless lindsey..
Thank you Andrew
Did the camino recently
It helps a lot xx
Sorry for your loss my friend she’s with you everyday I promise you I have the same problem I lost my soul mate recently hope you’re okay
❤️
We used to visit my dad every day in the hospice when he had cancer in 2001. My brother used to played this album on the drive.. We got a call from a nurse asking us to come in right away as he was weakening fast... This was the song that played as we pulled into the car park... He died that afternoon... Still chokes me up when I hear this.
Nick H I'm so sorry to hear about your dad but it is strange what music can do to you especially when they play at times like you had mate
🥲
I know that feeling, took me over ten years to play Heaven can wait after my mum died suddenly.
David Gray + Van Morrison = otherworldly music. I'd love to hear him cover Into the Mystic. I think it would be incredible.
Wow....imagine that cover. It would be amazing. I just love into the mystic😊
Have you heard the Zach Brown cover? Free/Into the Mystic. WHEW.
which Van Morrison track are the outro lyrics from, is it madam george?
I love he added Van Morrison’s verse from Into The Mystic!!🥰👏
@@jdp5288yes through the rain, hail, sleet and snow. Madame George.
I bought this 20 years ago and it’s still as good as it was back then. 41 now, where have the years gone 😏
I know the feeling Im going to be 62yrs old next week I thought i was only 40 boy the years rush by I dont mind toooooo much Im a Granny the best job in the world Its expensive but oh the love in return is above all the riches in the world Usually see the little ones in August Not sure it will happen this yeat and that is so hard to cope with My heart aches to see them So dont worry about the years enjoy life Stay safe and well and happy Jenny 💫💫✨
Jenny Perrio That was beautiful Jenny 💜 You still have many many years left to spend with your family and I wish you the best of luck for the future. You keep yourself an family safe right now with this virus.. much love Paul x

Sending love xx
@@user-le3iu2gx7l 😘
May perpetual light shine upon her and may she rest in peace 🙏 Jesus loves her ❤
Forgotten how much I love David Gray. This album is a treasure.
David Gray has the most calming voice its almost magical, have a few drinks, lay back and listen to his music it makes you reflect on your life and makes you think of those most important to you
This song makes me want to run away and never look back
Its an awful thing to do but i cant cope with looking after a mum who has alcohol induced Dementia Its so hard
I want a life of my own but its never going to happen
Been a miserable life I spent 40yrs trying to stop her drinking herself to death and the last 8yrs caring for her as her memory just dwindled away Im done i want a quiet life maybe find somebody to love me !!!Jenny 😌
Gray.
@@kevinhayes8188 thanks 👍🏻
@@jennyperrio4887 sorry to hear that jenny, I hope life is treating you well.stay strong.
2023 and still love this and all David Gray music.
Lost my big brother 20 months ago and hadnt seen him in person for 20 years.
Great song
Very sorry to hear that can’t imagine what you have been through stay strong you’ll see him again trust me I’m not god but that’s what I believe
This album was a masterpiece. Still coming back to it 20 years later.
Got that right friend!!!!!
Its always on my music rotation
my dead friend i gave it to her all those years ago
Remake of a soft cell song from the 80's, this may well eclipse the original. Mood depending. Try the oldie too ;) ❤
Say hello and wave goodbye .this song brings back memories,makes me feel nostalgic.so refreshing to hear his voice.never gets old.take a look at my face for the last time.2 years ago i said goodbye to my mom my angel. ❤❤
This is how you do a cover version. Nine minutes of perfection. Thank you for this David.
White Ladder will always hold a special place within my heart.
It was my rock through a challenging time. :-)
Terry Washington or a sturdy ladder to higher things
Its an amazing album helped me through a lot too, glad you made it through to the other side. :)
Well done, Terry. I know it's been a while since your last post, but I thought you could do with some encouragement. Remember that when life gets shabby and the sun goes behind a cloud and you feel a bit left behind, don't forget that it's not just you. You're one in an army of millions across the World. You know where to find us when it all gets a bit difficult. Regards from Kent, Great Britain.
Helped me to, there is always someone in a worse place than you
I understand that so well. I'll always love his first album. He's amazing.
I have cried to this track every time i've heard it for over 20 years. Marc Almond was so underrated as a writer. Gray did it full justice
I'm a massive Mark Almond fan but even the genius that is Mark realizes the brilliant piece of music he created David takes it onwards to the masterpiece that it truly is
@@michaelwhittaker5432 spot on my man
I thought it was an original song for years I had no idea it was a cover
Am welling up now
Gray's version is good but not as good as Mark's from Jools Holland, 2002. That can't be surpassed.
Reminds me of my father. And I'll teach this beauty to my son.
“We were born before the wind; who are we to understand” - nice doff of the cap to another songwriting legend, Van Morrison.
Well he used to play with him makes sense
@@astroboy3002indeed!!
Twenty years ago, during the most difficult time of my life, I was given this cassette and every song in it restored my soul. Surely one of the greatest collection of masterpieces ever!
I can see my dad sat in his chair nodding off listening to this. Memories are so powerful when put to music... Crying now listening and thinking of what was.. Love you dad.. Till we SAY HELLO again 😢😔♥️
Chin up mate
Very nice Angelene you will see him again love best always Ron x
And now he’s sitting in a chair somewhere, nodding off, listening to this song in perfect peace, and dreaming of you. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
I feel your pain. I lost mine on my birthday 2 years ago. I'm 38 now and never felt so lost. It gets easier with time, if only in that you stop going to tell them about upcoming things...that stinging yourself cycle does stop x
You will, indeed, say hello 👋 again, if you have Christ- more than a myth ✨
White Ladder is one of those few albums I listen to start to finish. Beautifully well written, produced and sung songs. Capped off by this treasure!
Well said
Absolutely Will- so true. No 'filler' on this album at all. I never skip a track.
Track after track of pure magic.
well said that man i totally agree and thanks D G sounding fresh.
Totally agree bro✌🏼
I wish this man was still making music like this....touches my heart every time. Thank u David Gray❤❤
Exactly ❤
It's not his song it's a great cover though
This song was running in my head when I decide to leave my wife after 25 yrs of her running around while I stayed home with our 3 kids.
That's a long time. I hope you have peace now.
Good for you Fella!
Your worth more than that.
I hope you are doing better. There are still amazing loyal women out there. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I went to a Teenage Cancer trust concert and David Gray sung Song to the siren by Tim Buckley and it made me cry such a good singer
I bought this album back in 98’. I never knew this was a cover !!! Soft cell did the original. This album is immaculate!!!
This version really brings out the emotion of the lyrics
I once saw Marc Almond sing this live, and he was utterly brilliant. DG really nails this song as well. Breathtaking.
David gray chills me out so much , even after 20 years . Great album .
My friend i miss you so much 😢 all the guys is missing you 😢❤you have been there for us allways ❤
TWENTY YEARS?!?
That can't be.
I hate getting old.
💖
I thought getting older might make me more sensible and I wouldn't create such mischief
It hasn't phew thank goodness
62yr old Granny happy to be forever a child at heart xx 🥰🥰😊😊🙄🙄💋🙋♀️
@@jennyperrio4887 Ha ha, nothing wrong with that Jenny ;)
@@laidback9249 I put my big toe up the hot tap inthe bath Yup it got stuck tiny bathroom 7 firemen to free one toe stuck my head through some railings to amuse my grandchildren yup got stuck more firemen Oh all this a long time ago ermm about 2 years Up for speeding soon Gangsta Granny that's me xxx
@@jennyperrio4887 🤣😁😂🤦🏻♂️
This song i here dedicate to my mother & little cousin.. both lost too cancer....much too early....
my dad just introduced me to this. brilliant song, love you dad x
one of the greatest covers made it's own ever!🥰
I was young and was in London...it brings all the memories back. Where has gone all those years...I still cannot believe it was 2003 and 2023 now...🍷😔
I hold a very special place in my heart for this song and someone who was very wrong for me but still visits me in my dreams over 20 years later.
We were born before the wind…
Good lord, what a moving, perfect, song. It leaves me limp.
😮😮😮😮
Every single song on this album is awesome.....that is very rare!
Absolutely spot-on!
Very true, even coming from David's Sister. Ha ha.
Not related as far as I am aware lol....
Not with the Beatles it isn’t 🤣
@@lindsayschlau9701 Yeah, if you've got no taste (eye-rolling emoticon).
The highest selling album in Ireland ever.
Didn't know that. Not surprising, though, I suppose. I can see why it would appeal there.
@@archiebunker4108 Not sure what this comment means, can you elaborate?
@@PresidentLincolnThe Irish have good taste
One of my Top 10 albums of all time.
Along with Tracy Chapman's original debute album.
he took a soft cell song i loved and adored to another level to where i miss and cry
like a good wine . just gets deeper and richer as I AGE.
Christmas 2021 still listening to this track, utter beauty
34 I used to play David Gray all time when I was young but never really got it untill I grew up real talk love it 🔥
One of my favourite cover songs, ever. His voice; that melody. Possibly perfect - I certainly thought so at the time...older now, but I was right.
Love him!! David you have such a unique voice and excellent lyrics that are deep heart and deep felt!! ❤❤❤ God bless you!!
Mr Gray is a superb musician... he really is!
I saw David in concert in 2002 ...I was 19 ..he was amazing and still is. His music never ages x
I’m 64 now,really good album at the time,really good album now,thought he was going to be a massive star but somehow never turned out that way,whether he chose that way I don’t know,I believe he financed the album himself because no one would give him the money,more fools them.
I’m 63 today ..... and have tumbled across your post. Loved this album. 💜💜
Hey Steve at 64 In know exactly what you mean?
Why it's brilliant 🙂
Who is still listening to this in march 2022 such a powerful song this is like , absolutely love it ,thank you @Davidgray #1
It keeps me in mind of my estranged 20yr old daughter.
I know its not intention of the song but minds me of chloe. Love u im here always
Mr Gray, I have followed your beautifulness since 2000 and I will be seeing you at Queen Elizebeth Theatre. I believe this will be my 5th time seeing you. The last one being the first day of summer three years ago. Twice had the pleasure of speaking to you briefly and although you wanted to leave your generousity gave me a autograph. You helped me through my life for the good and bad...i owe you dearly..your music enters my heart and stays...all your songs are powerful..please continue your peaceful words and message..love you.
Anyone else getting through lockdown with White Ladder
On yes
Yes me nearly every night 🌙
I played this album 10 years ago and it’s been with me ever since , it’s a album I can put on from the start and listen till the end , absolutely one of the best 👌
Brilliant album. I know what you mean by playing the whole album
Just went to see him in concert tonight - amazing! Goosebumps....
I saw him in Leeds he was amazing! It sounded like listening to the record he was faultless
@@rebeccaturner6887 Saw him in Dublin a few weeks ago, best concert Ive ever been to, and Ive been to many.
blenheim palace...absolutely stunning👌👏
Saw him play this live, weekend just gone. Magical version, one of the best covers ever.
For a long time I had no idea this was a cover of a Soft Cell song. I heard the original and liked it, and still do, but this version is beautiful. Would that it carried on for another ten minutes. Summer of 2005 I played this album non-stop, saw him that December in Brixton. A year I look back on very fondly indeed.
I had no idea it was a cover until just then!
I saw him play this album in 1998, at the Highbury Garage, Islington. The crowd demanded two encores that night - special times..
@2manynegativewaves Why did you two separate..?
@@jerryfalwellsociety that’s class
You have just reminded me of that!
Reminds me of a love I lost forever. I'll never get over her bit when you are young you never think of the repercussions.
you are right
This song is savage.
Turning a Soft Cell cover into a Madame George homage is absolutely brilliant. Beautifully done piece of music.
Goose bump song! Love David gray
love this album. every song is awesome!!!
I agree! This is one of the best audio CDs I ever listened to.I remember listening to a thirty-second preview for a slightly different version of "Please Forgive Me" in MusicMatch Jukebox on my HP Pavilion 710 CTO PC (which was my first HP PC) with Windows XP Home Edition on it back in 2002. I never listened to the full-length version of it until I found it here on UA-cam as a music video a decade later in 2012.
What a great cover! I used to love the Soft Cell version in the 80’s. Great memories. 🥰
Want so much to see you in Philadelphia USA in August
David Gray's music is fairly solid, no frills or spills..
Bought this album twenty years ago as a lot of yous here, what a gem! One of those intimate encounters with your inner you, cut straight to the heart and it still does, especially this song, cuts real deep, there's such a melancholy to it. Holds a genuine place this one. Gonna listen to it with my 8-year old chérie. David Gray, cheers from France, many thanks
Had to reply to this comment, its so good. Hope your daughter loved it like we do
Ahhh I’m just sat here listening and thinking “that post absolutely nails it “.
Take care , From Liverpool England
@@ste2442 seconded!
👍🎶🎶🐬🔊🇬🇧😉
my favourite ever album,always on when it came out,saw him at blenheim palace, now playing it to my 17 month old granddaughter who loves dancing along to it 🥰xxx
Still playing this song. 2024. Love it still. Beautiful comforting Music and Voice.
The memories , i miss you my old friend
Something come to a end...
One of the most special albums close to my heart from the time, parents were going through divorce and I was in love with the wrong girl only 16 years old.. times filled with emotions that change you ... Great music pure and honest ❤️
Exact same situations for me.. father had an affair, I was 15 and in love with the wrong girl. Too true Dave.
Wow that's amazing how music just gets you through crappy stuff, track by track. Thanks for sharing
Oh my youth! The nostalgia... Love this album so much
My dad played this every time in the car. I don't see my dad anymore but this album is him for me. Haven't listened to this for over 10 years......been too long :)
Alec Brown Have a great life ✌🏻🏴
Alec, there are far too many alienated children and parents (mums and dads) out there and they all long for each other to re-establish contact & relationships. It is never too late to make more beautiful memories like you just shared. Wishing you well
Get listening Keep the memory's
Alec Brown Why dont you get in touch with your Dad
I got back in touch with mine after 20years
We had a year together before he died in my arms from cancer
Oh what a year that was lots of laughs lots of tears lots of love too
You dont want to let more time go by like we did ,you want some moral support ,im here Jenny x
@@jennyperrio4887 thank you and that's wonderful you had that. I can't make contact unfortunately, he's made it very difficult for any of us to do that it.
Amazing song! Beautifully heartfelt ...and with David Grays voice... soul lifting .
Not heard this for an eternity, and I'd forgotten just how good this is. One of those rare cover versions that actually surpasses the original version, and this blows everyone else's clean away!
White Ladder is a David Gray greatest hits album!
Say hello and wave goodbye is a cover version of a Soft Cell hit!
@@Davidmoyesisanalien5 yes soft cell released it in '81
I don't think it surpasses the original, but I love David Gray and his version.
_it's a cover?!_
Happy birthday David Gray today 🎉
This album touches the inner you nobody sees and fills you with hopes, regrets and sunshine
I listened t this album for years. Then a few years ago i won tickets to David Gray. I almost didnt go. The tickets were in the 2nd row, BEST concert of my life. I will alywas love it.
I like soft cell version bestx
Seen in America 6 times me is British
Don't know how anyone can choose a favourite on this album.. Every song is just epic..
This is very true.
But I think this might be my no.1 :)
David you are a true talent and this song speaks to many men. Who thought they had their forever. And discovered. It was not. I have met so many countless male friends who experienced the same. And in their Take Two, have found someone who didn't betray them, who truly loved them. That is a testimony to those who betrayed their true love, who discarded them so selfishly, and many times, their entire family. To all the men of the world who get to meet their actual true love, after such a failure, not of their choosing. All the best to those men. There is hope. There is true love out there.
Tune and a half☝🏻learn and sing people
The whole White Ladder album brings me back to my teenage years, hearing David Gray on late-night radio
Love the lyrical nods to Van Morrison's "Madame George" in this song's outro. It's been such a long time since I listened to White Ladder ... I was overdue for it!
Yes, Into the Mystic.
This album reminds me of the love of my life
This song remembers me of a lass I was going out with back in my teenage years. We were together for like a year and I swear I loved this girl. We just kind of drifted apart but she gave me so many happy memories that will last my lifetime.
Love this crossroads take the right path sending love and good vibrations
Amazing how 1 song can bring back so many memories,nostalgia is a truly great thing x
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. I think he's talking about the instance of human bonding, where it is awesome and then it turns sour and and it all seems to happen in one single instance. The man is a genius and I only have my own interpretation of his music - I just hope that everyone else listening enjoys it in whatever way.
He ruined his music genius when he got married
Lola Flores haha!!
He didnt write the song it is a cover of Soft Cells original, also performed by Aha. But this is actually my favourite rendition.
Forever a journey back to different times. Always amazing.
classic British album
Exactly! This audio CD is cool, and as a matter of fact, I have it now since I purchased it on Amazon!
The highest selling album in Ireland ever.
Every single song on this album is awesome.....that is very rare!
When I listen to this amazing album, I remember summer nights out on my mountain bike with this playing on my Walkman. That was a while ago but each song takes me back.
A classics classic.
I did not know when I first heard this, a long time ago, just how relevant it would one day become to me.
Found... Sweet little house wife , to give me the steady life, we were born for the wind. Love you Stace.
Just discovered this interpretation of this song. Beautiful. Love the original, but David Gray's voice really gives that soft soulful touch of sadness
Anyone here 2023? Sending love to the world over ❤
Saw DG in Killarney 17 years ago as a young pup, buzzing to see him in Dublin in 2020🙌🇮🇪
I was at that gig pregnant with my child ,im bringing my now 16 year old pup to see him in Dublin
Mary McCabe class 👌🏼
2021 damn you corona
Love his voice - he has a Bob Dylan ‘feel’ to his songs
