WATCH THE RIVER FLOW
Bob Dylan


whats the matter with me?
i dont have much to say
feel like sneaking through the window
and im still in this old night cafe

walking to and fro beneath the moon
thats where the trucks are rolling slow
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 ill just sit here so contentedly
and watch the river flow

people disagreeing on just about everything yep
makes me want to stop and wonder why
why only yesterday i saw somebody on the street
who just couldnt help but cry

but this old river keeps on rolling though
no matter what gets in the way
and which way the wind doth blow
but as long as it does
ill just sit here and watch the river flow

instrumental break

people disagreeing everywhere you look
makes me want to stop and read a book
why only yesterday i saw somebody on the street
that was really shook

but this old river keeps on rolling though
no matter what gets in the way
and which way the wind doth blow
but as long as it does
ill just sit here and watch the river flow

watch the river flow
watch the river flow
watch the river flow
watch the river flow
well ill just sit out on this bank of sand
and watch the river flow.
