Waving Goodbye Songtext
von Chuck Prophet

Even as a child
In her lonely room
She was planning her big getaway
It could not come too soon
Oh but time can stop a heart
And start it up again
Every night was an eternity
She would lay there and pretend

She was waving goodbye
Yeah
She was waving goodbye
Whoa

There was nothing left for her to hang on to
She was naked to the waist
Lying in her bed
When her mother came in through the door
She was kissing her best friend


Oh they formed a little group
And never had one doubt
Spent a summer on the road
Living hand to mouth

She was waving goodbye
Yeah
She was waving goodbye
Whoa
And there was nothing left for her to hang on to

Now she lives behind a wall
In Manhattan Beach
Far from her mother′s warm embrace
Beyond her daddy's reach

Oh but even as a child
In her lonely room
She was planning her big getaway
It could not come too soon

She was waving goodbye
Yeah
She was waving goodbye
Whoa
There was nothing left for her to hang on to
She was waving goodbye
