Watching the River Flow

[Verse 1]
What’s the matter with me
I don’t have much to say
Daylight sneaking through the window
And I’m still in this all-night café

[Chorus]
Walking to and fro beneath the moon
Out to where the trucks are rolling slow
To sit down on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow

[Verse 2]
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 true love so close at hand

[Chorus]
If I had wings and I could fly
I know where I would go
But right now I’ll just sit here contentedly
And watch the river flow

[Verse 3]
People disagreeing on all just about everything
Makes you stop and all wonder why
Why only yesterday I saw somеbody on the street
Who just couldn’t help but cry

[Chorus]
Oh, this old river keeps on rolling, though
No mattеr what gets in the way
And which way the wind does blow
I’ll just sit here and watch the river flow

[Verse 4]
People disagreeing everywhere you look
Makes you want to stop and read a book
Only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
That was really shook

[Chorus]
But this old river keeps on rolling, 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

[Outro]
And as long as it does I’ll just sit here
And watch the river flow
