Mermaid Kiss Rhonda and the Paper Crane lyrics

Down at The Waterfront, the fly girls tilt and dance the night away,
While Rhonda folds a paper crane, and hopes it's not too late to save the day.
And in the background on the TV, is the face of JFK,
But no-one's paying much attention and someone says “Where's Cuba anyway?”

Rhonda counted stars that night and wished upon the one furthest away
Down at the water's edge, she answered to the river's pull and sway.
No-one noticed she was missing, everyone's afraid they'll get the blame,
No-one wants to take the fall out for just another teenage runaway
Float down the river around the bend,
Float down the river around the bend,
(Oh, where are all my friends.)

Her mother puts a bright light in the window, but the candle burnt away,
And her friends began to realize they didn't really know her anyway.

Someone says she's gone to California, to seek her fortune in L.A,
But Sheriff Wright's of the opinion that it's just some kind of schoolgirl escapade.
Float down the river around the bend,
Float down the river around the bend,
(Oh, where are all my friends.)

Rhonda kept her bedroom door locked, she kept her secrets hid away,
And when they finally broke the door down, they found a thousand paper cranes.
Float down the river around the bend,
Float down the river around the bend,
(Oh, where are all my friends.)
