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
