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
