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
