Watching The River Flow Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan
What's the matter with me? I don't have much to say Daylight's sneaking' through the window And I'm still in this all night cafe Walking to and fro beneath the moon Out to where the trucks are rolling slow Sit out 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 beatin' down over the chimney tops And the one I love so close at hand If I had wings and I could fly, I know where I would go But right now I just sit here so contentedly And watch the river flow
People disagreein' on just about everything, yeah Makes you stop and wonder why Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street Who just couldn't help but cry
Chorus Oh, but this old river keeps on rollin' though No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow And as long as it does I just sit here And watch the river flow
People disagreein' everywhere you look Makes you want to stop and read a book Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street That was really shook
[Chorus]
Watch the river flow, watching the river flow Watching the river flow Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand And watch the river flow
