Watchin' The River Flow

What's the matter with me
I don't have too 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 on 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 contentedly
And watch the river flow

People disagreeing on almost everything
Makes you stop and 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 blows
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
Yeah, just sit here and watch the river flow
Watch the river, watch the river flow
