I was comin` to see you, down by the waterside,
Hopin` you`d still be my friend,
I got to the corner, and stopped for a soda,
Wish I could see you again.
Hours are driftin`, my thoughts gettin` mistin`,
Caught like a lion in a pen,
You can still find me, at work in the library,
Wish I could see you again.
I bin` a long time, out in the countryside,
Castin` my rod an` my line,
Fishing the river, be a forgiver,
Wish I could see you again.
River rock the boat, throw my overcoat over,
Sit by my side, said we could do this again,
Never mind the wind, blowin` out your hair,
Sit in a rockin` chair,
Wish I could see you again.
I was comin` to meet you, outside your mother`s place,
Hopin` to see you again,
I got to the corner, and stopped for a soda,
Hope you will still be my friend.
