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
Where the trucks are rollin' slow
Sit on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow
Wish I was back in the city
In my true love's arms
She like older men
They can't resist her charms
If I had wings and I could fly
I know where I would go
Right now I'll sit right here
Watch the river flow
People disappearing everywhere you look
Don't know where to draw the line
Only yesterday I seen somebody
Who was really in a bind
Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin', though
Where it stop and where the wind might blow
I'll sit right here
And watch the river flow
People disappearing everywhere you look
Ever stop and wonder why
Only yesterday I seen somebody to say goodbye
This ol' river, keeps on rollin', though
Where it stop and where the wind might blow
I'll sit right here
And watch the river flow
