about

I was drinking tea under the night sky when this song arrived in my head. Within an hour I'd sketched out the entire tune. The lyrics are influenced by my long-departed fishing friends from the 1980s, the men and women of the riverbank.

lyrics

SEE YOU ON THE RIVERBANK

I'll see you on the riverbank gents
I'll see you on the riverbank my friends
I'll see you in the valley
When the river fines down again

I'll see you when the sun will rise
I'll see you in the first of the light
I'll see you in the third field
Sitting underneath the lines

And it all comes back on a misty morn in June
Picking numbers from a hat
At the setting of the Flower Moon
And it'll never be the same
But I'd do it all again with you

I'll see you at the crazy night
Yeah I'll see you in the fading light
I'll see your friendly faces
In the beam of an old torch light

And it all comes back on an August Tuesday night
When the ghosts with the smiles on their faces
Take my side
And it'll never be the same
But I carry all your names in my mind

I'll see you when the storms are due
Yeah I'll see you when the floods push through
I'll see you in December
And remember all the good times with you

I'll see you all together
When the days down here are through
Yeah I'll see you all together
When I've handed in my dinner pail too

I'll see you on the riverbank my friends
