Watching The River Flow

What's the matter with me I can’t really say Standing on these darkened windows From an all-night café Lookin' over the moon And watching the trucks go rollin' slow I’ma sit on this bank of sand And watch the river flow Wish I was back in the city Instead of this bunch of sand With the sun streaking down over the chimney tops And the one I love so close at hand Said if I had wings and I could fly I know where I would go But until that day, I'm gonna sit right here And watch the river flow People disagreeing on everything Makes you stop and wonder why Why only yesterday I met somebody who couldn't help but cry But this ol' world Keeps on and slowly going So I'm gonna sit here on this bank of sand And watch the river flow Say folks disagreeing on everything Makes you wanna stop and write a book Say I saw somebody down the street Who was really sure Saying that this ol' world Will keep rolling on you know So I'm gonna sit right on this bank of sand And watch the river flow Watch the river flow Said I'll watch the river flow Yeah, sit up out on this sand And watch the river flow
