Goodbye Girl
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I met her in a pool room
Her name I didn't catch
She looked like something special
The kind who'd understand
The room was almost spinning
She pulled another smile
She had the grace like pleasure
She had a certain style
Sunlight on the lino
Woke me with a shake
I looked around to find her
But she'd gone
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
She took me to her motel
A room on the second floor
A kettle and two coffees
A number on the door
She said I hardly know you
Agreed we kissed goodnight
I knew that in the morning
Somehow I'd wake to find
Sunlight on the lino
Waking me with a shake
I looked around to find her
But she'd gone
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
I've lost my silver bracelet
My club room locker keys
The money in the milk bowl
It doesn't bother me
My wife has moved to Boston
So mugged is not the word
If you ever see her
Say hello goodbye girl
Sunlight on the lino
Woke me with a shake
I looked around to find her
But she'd gone
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
(Repeat twice to fade)
