On the Bank by Dick Diver Lyrics

No sweeter words been sung, then I’ll see you there at one by the river at the bend
Something sparkles in your eye, there’s something in your smile
Though you say we’re just friends

And I know I’m here too early, and I know there are all those girly things you’ve got to do
The sky is bright and clear, the bank is getting busy
I’ll wait here for you

Someone else’s friends are on the bank
Someone else’s friends have met in the right spot
Maybe the right spot was somewhere else but
There’s nowhere for you to be

And all those people laughing at me, I guess it’s nothing
They’ve got better things to talk about
I’m sure she wouldn’t mind if I started on this wine
She’ll be here any second, no doubt

I leave a message on her phone, I wait and I’m alone
My thongs are melting in the grass
They’ve taken all the shade, they’re better dressed, their lemonade
And this wine ain’t gonna last
Someone else’s friends are on the bank
Someone else’s friends have met in the right spot
Maybe the right spot was somewhere else but
There’s nowhere for you to be
And there’s no one you need to meet

And the weather might be turning, my skin red and burning
I can hardly read the time
A breeze blows up the river, should be too hot to shiver
But there goes one down my spine

That group has left off now, they’re probably going out
White smiles on tanned skin
And I got the wrong day or I got the wrong girl
I’ll give her one last ring

Someone else’s friends are on the bank
Someone else’s friends have met in the right spot
Maybe the right spot was somewhere else but
There’s nowhere for you to be
And there’s no one you need to meet
