Watching The River Flow lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Bob Dylan)

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

Out where the trucks are rollin' slow

To sit down 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 beating down on 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'll just sit here contentedly

And watch the river flow

People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah

Makes you wonder why

Oh yesterday I saw someone on the street

Who just couldn't help but cry

Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin', though

Whatever way the wind does blow

I just sit here

And watch the river flow

And people disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah

Makes you wanna stop and read a book

Only yesterday I saw someone on the street

Who was really shook

Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin', though

Whatever way the wind does blow

As long as it does I'll just sit here

And watch the river flow

Yes as long as it does I'll just sit here

And watch the river flow
