On The Bank - Dick Diver

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
