Watching the River Flow

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 café 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, yep 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 want to stop and read a book Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street That was really shook Well, but this old river keeps on rolling low 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 Watching the river flow Watching the river flow But I'll sit down on this bank of sand And watch the river flow
