05 - SHE STILL WAVES GOODBYE - The Wonders

(1967 Single — The Last Summer Before Everything Changes) (Soft electric guitar tremolo and distant harmonies) Intro Ooooh… Ooooh… (Drums enter gently) Verse 1 Train station shining in the rain Same old town but nothing feels the same Your suitcase waiting by the door Like you’d already left before Your hair moved softly in the wind I tried to speak but words got thin And somewhere underneath the sky You smiled and slowly waved goodbye Pre-Chorus Some people leave like thunder rolling by Some leave quietly into the night Chorus She still waves goodbye Every time I close my eyes Like a photograph that never fades away She still waves goodbye Standing underneath July Somewhere in the echoes of those days Verse 2 Movie houses glowing blue and gold Young hearts trying hard to not grow old The radio played our favorite song But somehow you were already gone Streetlights trembling on the cars Summer scattered into stars And every road I walk alone Still feels halfway like home Pre-Chorus Maybe love was only passing through Long enough to feel true Chorus She still waves goodbye Every time I close my eyes Like a photograph that never fades away She still waves goodbye Standing underneath July Somewhere in the echoes of those days Bridge (soft layered harmonies) Ooooh… Can you hear the station call… Ooooh… Summer doesn’t stay at all… Guitar Solo (Emotional melodic vintage solo with light tremolo) Final Chorus She still waves goodbye From another place and time Like a dream still hanging in the air She still waves goodbye And somewhere deep inside Part of me is always standing there Outro (soft repeating harmonies fading into tape hiss) She still waves goodbye… She still waves goodbye…
