What's the matter with me I don't have much to say Daylight sneakin' through the window I'm still in this all-night cafe Walkin' to and fro beneath the moon Out 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 on 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, yeah Makes you wonder why oh yesterday I saw someone on the street Who just couldn't help but cry Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin', though Whatever way the wind does blow I just sit here And watch the river flow And 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 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 And as long as it does I'll just sit here And watch the river flow
