Sit down on this bank of sand
People disagreeing everywhere you look
Instead of this old bank of sand
Who just couldn't help but cry
Makes you stop and lo wonder why
Well, but this ol' river keeps on rollin', though
And as long as it does I'll just sit here
Wish I was back in the city
With the sun beating down over the chimney tops
Daylight sneakin' through the window
Walkin' to and fro beneath the moon
Watchin' the river flow
If I had wings and I could fly
No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
Makes you wanna stop and read a book
Out to where the trucks are rollin' slow
And watch the river flow
Watch the river flow, watchin' the river flow
I know where I would go
No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow
That was really shook
Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin', though
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
But right now I'll just sit here so contentedly
And watch the river flow
And watch the river flow
And watch the river flow
But I'll just sit down on this bank of sand
And the one I love so close at hand
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah
And as long as it does I'll just sit here
And I'm still in this all night cafe
