The River

Corner shop meeting place

Put all my money on Johnny's face

Tallest in the year

First to get served with no fear

I can see the river gleam

With prams and cones that float downstream

And the only thing blue is the sky that's high above you

Is it cool if I confide in you?

Cure my teenage blues

And we'll be drinking by the river till the middle of the night

Keeping up the sun till the river runs dry

Drinking by the river till the middle of the night with you

Just like we used to do

I'm so glad you came

Without you the river don't feel the same

Now we feel sick from doing your spinning cider trick

I can still taste your lips

And the salty air where we first kissed

And the harrowing view of dark clouds hanging over you

Girl, what's troubling you?

We'll cure your teenage blues

And we'll be drinking by the river till the middle of the night

Keeping up the sun till the river runs dry

Drinking by the river till the middle of the night with you

Drinking by the river till the middle of the night

Keeping up the sun till the river runs dry

Drinking by the river till the middle of the night with you

Girl, what's troubling you?

We've got nothing to lose

And can I come home with you?

Wash away our teenage blues

Staying out with you

And we'll be drinking by the river till the middle of the night

Keeping up the sun till the river runs dry

Drinking by the river till the middle of the night with you

Drinking by the river till the middle of the night

Keeping up the sun till the river runs dry

Drinking by the river till the middle of the night with you

Drinking by the river till the middle of the night

Keeping up the sun till the river runs dry

Drinking by the river till the middle of the night with you

Ah, just like we used to do

Just like we used to do
