Lyrics Watching the River Flow (Live in Denver, 1978) - Joe Cocker

What's the matter with me
I can't really say
Standing on these darken windows
From an all-night café
Lookin' over the moon
And watching the trucks go rollin' slow
I'ma sit on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow

Wish I was back in the city
Instead of this bank of sand
With the sun beating 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 until that day I'm gonna sit right here
Watching the river flow

People disagreeing on everything
Make you stop and wonder why
Saying only yesterday
I met somebody who couldn't help but cry
But this ol' world, it will keep running slow, let it go
So I'm gonna sit here on the sand
Watching the river flow

People, they are only disagreeing on everything
Sometimes I want to love
Just say I'm blessed, I'm wondered
Who was really sure
This ol' world, is gonna keep running and sliding over
So I'm sitting on this bank of sand
Watching the river flow

I'm gonna watch the river
I'm gonna watch the river flow
