Been talking to pylons, About how to make friends, Felt a funny connection, So I shared a few words, He said “Go to the river side', I should find a few there, But then he asked if I'd stay a while, Said it would sure make his day, He said it's sure nice to see your face, No one comes here no more, Thanks for staying and talking a while, It's hard to find a friend.
La-la l-la-la-la la-la l-la-laaaaaa
So I went to the riverside, Amongst the cranes and the piers, And I thought for the first time, I could settle down here, I played pool at the shipyard, With all the new friends I'd made, I play cards at the quayside, With a battered old wave, First I'll make the trip home, Back to see my old friend, See I promised to visit sometimes, So this wont be the end, He said I'll be right here when you need me, I ain't going nowhere, Thanks for dropping by, it was a gas, It's hard to find a friend. It's hard to find a friend.
