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.
