Hello - Goodbye

You will not follow me
You will not follow me

Take the first turn and head straight south
A corridor of trees will lead you past a public park
Row houses of bricks empty onto a vacant lot
Turn left, turn right, and look for the neon sign
There you are! There you are!
Wait a minute! I see! I see!

Hello
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye

You three bring up the boxes
While we move these chairs
A place to be, a place to read
A work of fiction or of history
To the east we'll hang the door, solid oak
To the west bay windows letting in the light
A place to be, a place to read, a place to spend the night
You stand over there and I'll stay here
Now I see! Now I see!

Hello
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye
Hello

You will not follow me
You will not follow me

A prophet without disciples
A teacher without students
A shepherd without sheep
Wait a minute! I see! I see!
You three, follow me
Yes, you three, follow me, follow me

You will not follow me
You will not follow me

Hello
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye

The blood of the oxen must not be spilled upon the altar
And the smoke must be of white ash, cypress, and fragrant cedars
Or the leaves of the yew tree will smother the brazen flames
You hand me up the cup
And I'll read from the book
And then together we'll all sing
What shall we sing?
What shall we sing?

You will not follow me
You will not follow me
You will not follow me
You will not follow me
You will not follow me
You will not follow me
You will not follow me
