Joe Cocker – Watching The River Flow lyrics

WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW
What's the matter with me,
I can't really say,
Staring out these darkening windows
From a all-night cafe.
lookin' over the moon
And watching the trucks go rollin' slow,
I'm won't sit here on this bag of sand
And watch the river flow.

Wish I was back in the city
Instead of this old bank of sand,
With the sun streaking down over the chimney tops
And the one I love so close at hand.
Say If I had wings and I could fly,
I know where I would go.
But untill that day I 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.
Oh, this ol' world keeps on rollin', slow you know,
So Im going to sit here on this bag of sand
And watch the river flow.
solo
Say folks disagreeing on everything,
Makes you wanna stop and write a book.
Say I saw some woman down the street
Who was really shook.
But this ol' world keeps rollin', on you know,
So Im going to sit here on this bag of sand
And watch the river flow.

Watch the river flow,
Watchin' the river flow,

But I'll sit down on this bag of sand
And watch the river flow.
