Lyrics

(Was This) Hello or Goodbye?
words and music by
Rick Barclay

1st VS: Started out just like any other day
drivin' on a old two lane country road
same 'ol routine, is there any other way
to tell you the truth, I really don't know

Then a little red sports car passes me by
seemed in such a hurry
I can't say why

Came to a stop at the next red light
I gave a quick look over to my right
read the telegraph from her eyes
was this hello or goodbye?

2nd VS: Kinda shrugged it off and chuckled a bit
but I did ponder it, I have to admit
So She went her way, and I went mine
What would've happened with a little more time

I got to where I was going soon enough
by this time my mind
was filled with other stuff

I gathered all my things and I opened the door
This time it was really hard to ignore
as I read the telegraph from her eyes
was this hello or goodbye?

Inst soli

3rd VS: Several months have passed now since that day
I haven't seen her at all, no matter where I go
I often wonder where she went
probably livin' in France, in a fancy chateau

one night I'm working late at home
dozing in and out
as my mind starts to roam

I jump to my feet from the knock at the door
I opened it up, deja vu was on for more
As I read the telegraph from her eyes
this was definitely hello not goodbye
