What´s the matter with me, I don´t have much to say, Daylight sneakin´ through the window And I´m still in this all-night cafe. Walkin´ to and fro beneath the moon
Out to where the trucks are rollin´ slow, To sit down on this bank of sand And watch the river flow.
Wish I was back in the city Instead of this old bank of sand, With the sun beating down over the chimney tops And the one I love so close at hand. If I had wings and I could fly, I know where I would go. But right now I´ll just sit here so contentedly And watch the river flow.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah, Makes you stop and all wonder why. Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street Who just couldn´t help but cry.
Oh, this ol´ river keeps on rollin´, though, No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow, And as long as it does I´ll just sit here And watch the river flow.
People disagreeing everywhere you look, Makes you wanna stop and read a book. Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street That was really shook. But this ol´ river keeps on rollin´, though, No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow, And as long as it does I´ll just sit here And watch the river flow.
Watch the river flow, Watchin´ the river flow,
Watchin´ the river flow, But I´ll sit down on this bank of sand And watch the river flow.
