What's the matter with me,
I don't have much to say,
Daylight sneakin' through
And I'm still in this all- night cafe.
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 this old bank of sand,
With the sun beating down over
And the one I love so close at hand.
If I had wings and I could fly,
But right now I'll just sit
And watch the river flow.
People disagreeing on all just about everything,
Makes you stop and all wonder why.
I saw somebody on the street
Who just couldn't help but cry.
Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin',
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.
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
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.
