The whistle blows at five
so you can go home
the heart comes alive
so you don't go alone

just a song for a friend
cause i hope we meet again

i met you in a dream
when you were on your own
you were holding out your hand
telling me to hold on

just a song for a friend
cause i hope we meet again
cause when we were standing in the rain
i didn't catch your name

well the rain comes down
so the sun will shine
and the light comes in
to ease our jealous minds

just a song for a friend
cause i hope we meet again
cause when i saw you on the street
you were looking so beat

we walked out to the desert
it was so dry
but you combed your hair with water
and you didn't say goodbye

just a song for a friend
cause i hope we meet again

the river in my dream
it was so red
i was looking for the bank
i found you instead

just a song for a friend
cause i hope we meet again
