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
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
Well, 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
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 all just about everything Makes you stop and all wonder why
Oh yesterday I saw somеbody on the street Who just couldn’t help but cry
Oh, this old river keeps on rolling, though Whatever way the wind does blow
I’ll just sit here and watch the river flow
People disagreeing everywhere you look Makes you wanna stop and read a book
Only yesterday I saw somebody on the street That was really shook
But this old river keeps on rolling on Whatever way the wind does blow
And as long as it does I’ll just sit here And watch the river flow
And as long as it does I’ll just sit here And watch the river flow
