Billy found his Jeany, it took him 7 years
Jeany whispered 'hello'

and he was brought to tears
he said 'I gave up dancing

at the Frisco Bay'
and all my intuition, it couldn't make you stay

 

chorus:

How far is hello, how far is hello
how far is hello from saying goodbye
how far is hello, you can call me mellow
but how far is hello from saying goodbye

 

Well ain't that peculiar

Billy thought out loud
here she is standing still I could do without
the picture of her husband

her little bastards too
7 years of absence and loving overdue

chorus

You know that I've been searching

and never rose above
the morning that I woke up
without my only love
now Billy won't you tell me

could you please explain
how your intuition tracked me down again

 

chorus

 

Jeany was persistent

and every time they'd meet
she pledged herself to Billy

but he couldn't feel the heat
I have been a fool, said Bill

a prisoner of my dreams
I'd better keep on searching

for another 7 years
