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
