Another Word for Goodbye by Rosanna Chester

My daughter, Rosie, wrote and performed this song. You can find her on youtube @Rosanna Chester and on substack at www.rosannachestermusic.substack.com. Another Word for Goodbye How many people Have I passed by Who I wouldn’t look in the eyes? And how many strangers Would I know Had I done otherwise People pass me by I watch and wonder why So many strangers Here under the same sky People pass me by A wave and then a sigh This kind of hello is just another word for goodbye I watch through the window Grocery store You carry 6 bags per hand I like what you stuck on Your car door I’ve always loved that band People pass me by I watch and wonder why So many strangers Here under the same sky People pass me by A wave and then a sigh This kind of hello is just another word for goodbye Goodbye to people I’ll never know Who’ve felt the way that I feel And know though this life will quickly go The things that you felt were real Why are you crying Little boy I wish I could ask you why You’re mother is looking Where you point I see up into the sky And it’s flying higher still Fading in the clouds colored grey I’ve never really seen eyes until Tears bring out a color I can’t name Rain on the windshield Red balloon Finally fades from sight
